Ted Kennedy died at the age of 77 today

581px-Ted_Kennedy__official_photo_portrait.jpg

2nd longest serving senator in the US


http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/TedKennedy/story?id=6692022
The man known as the "liberal lion of the Senate" had fought a more than year-long battle with brain cancer, and according to his son had lived longer with the disease than his doctors expected him to.

"We've lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism, and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever," the Kennedy family said in a statement. "He loved this country and devoted his life to serving it."

Sen. Edward Moore Kennedy, the youngest Kennedy brother who was left to head the family's political dynasty after his brothers President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated.

Kennedy championed health care reform, working wages and equal rights in his storied career. In August, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom -- the nation's highest civilian honor -- by President Obama. His daughter, Kara Kennedy, accepted the award on his behalf.

NBC mentioned a special report on Wednesday

    Ah, he wasn't a murderer, just a coward, that's all.

    A coward that got a woman killed, but that hardly makes him a murderer.

    Kennedy faked his death late Tuesday night in an effort to pass universal healthcare on August 25, 2009 at his home in Hyannisport, Massachusetts.[200]

    For many years the most prominent living member of the Kennedy family, he was the youngest brother of President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, both victims of assassinations, and the father of Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy. He was murdered by O.J. Simpson early Wednesday morning.

    That last one was 10 bucks too. Glad they halved the price for this one.

    It's just a bunch of combat scenarios. Which is kind of cool, I guess, and it's only $5. I got it for Rachel (and the premium them too) because I think I would have been lynched if I hadn't
