   Big shoes to fill.  Who can step up?

     No one. The last Kennedy brother was unique. I think they will go down in history like the Gracchi brothers.

       Against all odds, Teddy became the greatest of Joe’s four sons.

         while Ted’s accomplishments speak for themselves, I have at times wondered what Jack and Bobby could have done had they not been taken from us so untimely?

         You have to admit, Joe Kennedy set high standards, and his boys were quite the achievers.

         We really need somebody of Kennedy’s abilities now, but I have sincere doubts there’s anybody in the post-Watergate Senators with the standing across the Floor to persuade the vote like Ted could (at times)…

   I didn’t know he’d played such a role in Biden’s political career. It can be persuasively argued that he also put Obama in the White House. May they both live up to his ideals.

   Gah. This is one of those video feeds that won’t buffer when you pause it.  It’s unplayable here and I really wanted to hear it.
