“Shameless is shameless, no matter where it crops up.”

You've failed again.. Oh, well. (There's nothing wrong with remarking on his memories any more than, say, Frank Sinatra's.) You can always keep trying to do better, though.

I've been thinking about how Ted Kennedy is the last of the Kennedy's to play a grand, operatic role on the country's and the world's stage.
The younger generation, so far, has not been able to step into equivalen roles.

The Kennedy clan was our national opera for a long. long time, with soaring arias of heroism, pathos and tragedy, failures and success, grace and aggressive ruggedness.
It's sad to think that Ted Kennedy may never give another impassioned speech on the Senate floor, and that the last act of the opera may be over. .

“hopefully the same won't happen here”

Yes, it is.
Shameless is shameless, no matter where it crops up.

I got a response on another thread about a Kennedy comment I made that was not only blatantly false but downright stupid; hopefully the same won't happen here.

Since Paul's face is distinctive and easily recognizeable, obviously those three are John, George, and Ringo.
