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, has died at age 77.
Known as the "liberal lion of the Senate," 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.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, known as Ted or Teddy, was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in May 2008 and underwent a successful brain surgery soon after that. But his health continued to deteriorate, and Kennedy suffered a seizure while attending the luncheon following President BarackThis really sucks. America, the Democrats, and liberals everywhere have lost a great man tonight. I will remember the man and his work simply by these words alone:
"The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams shall never die."
Rest in peace, Lion of the Senate.

Do it Jonathan. His vileness had gone beyond the pale on this one.
The guy did a lot of good after he took a young women's life.
God rest his soul.
