I think it goes without saying that Senator Edward Kennedy’s life has been exceptional. The lion of the Senate, a longtime leading Democrat, died this morning at age 77 of brain cancer. He has been a champion of a multitude of issues, particularly health care, throughout his career.

Although I would like to post a full obituary for all of our readers on The Blue Line, this will have to wait for a more decent hour. However, it is important to recognize that his life’s goal of providing quality, affordable health care to all, health care that could save other people’s lives from preventable loss. As the health care bill hopefully finally comes to pass, let us all remember Senator Kennedy, the man who devoted his life to making this happen.

Rest in peace, Senator Kennedy.
