LION OF THE SENATE DEAD AT AGE 77

In honor of the passing of Senator Edward Kennedy, we're posting this speech he made - the eulogy - for his brother Robert Kennedy. The entire nation listened to this, especially to the last part - and eloquent speech.



He served in the Senate for 40 years. He was the last of the Kennedy brothers. Many loved him, some hated him. He's been called one of the most effective lawmakers ever, and even people like Orrin Hatch, who got into politics to fight Kennedy, soon teamed up with him to get the nation's work done. It's a sad night, and the passing of an era in American politics.
