Senator Ted Kennedy died Tuesday at the age of 77. Love or hate him, he was an icon in American politics during his 47 years as U.S. senator. Democrats are hailing him as a hero, and Republicans are trying to look sad so as not to appear insensitive.
Kennedy will be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery alongside his brothers, President John F. Kennedy and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, and will still be buried before Michael Jackson.
Massachusetts will have a tough time replacing Kennedy, considering his long history, and despite his personal controversies, but they’ll cross that bridge when they get to it.
State buildings will fly their flag at half-mast, in memory of the way Kennedy wore his pants on Cape Cod at weekend parties.
