Ted Kennedy tribute video

Will edit later, but can say this immediately:

There's no better way to pay tribute to this legislative hero (an oxymoron that should be the aspiration of every Congressman/woman) than to continue the debate on healthcare reform with vigor and illumination.

How ironic that he was perhaps the least promising and most flawed of the Kennedy boys, yet he accomplished the most by living. Sometimes heroes just show up.

"My brother need not be idealized or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life, to be remembered as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. Those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today, pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will some day come to pass for all the world."

-- Ted Kennedy's Eulogy for Robert F. Kennedy, June 1968.
