this is making me cry

Seems I've had enough of dying Kennedys, and the mere thought of it now sets me off. I guess even if he dies of old age at 110, it'd still be too much for me. I remember what good news it was that he got his brother's seat in the Senate, seemed the whole country was filled with the most excellent sons of a skunk, and our prospects in 1962 were so rosy for it. I so hope this seizure was just an anomaly and that he will be okay.

There's a "Through the Years" slide show at the link that drives home how much grief he has endured in his life. He's maybe the most experienced with funerals of anyone alive. I'm thinking of the look on his face during the Alito confirmation hearings when the Republicans trotted out judges who'd been mentored by Bobby to sing of Alito's completely imaginary virtues.


Dammit! I hope he's okay.
