Despite mumblin's and grumblin's from some quarters, the death of Senator Ted Kennedy has been met mostly with sorrow and reverence for the controversial figure. In fact, Kennedy's death has mustered the most bipartisan good will I can remember seeing since the "God bless the USA, the whole USA, and nothing but the USA" days immediately following 9/11.
Evidence:
This song written (and I guess produced, though probably not performed) by Republican US Senator Orrin Hatch.
No, Mr. Hatch, though one Senator's death is a great blow, "we shall not crash." In fact, now that Mr. Kennedy has passed away, "we're headed home at last." Hmm. It's almost as if Mr. Hatch thinks Mr. Kennedy's death is a sign of the second coming. Maybe it is.
Honor Him!
