So Long, Teddy

CNN just announced the death of Ted Kennedy.

After recently awarding Senator Edward Kennedy the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the White House released this statement about the Senator:

"Senator Kennedy has dedicated his career to fighting for equal opportunity, fairness and justice for all Americans. He has worked tirelessly to ensure that every American has access to quality and affordable health care, and has succeeded in doing so for countless children, seniors, and Americans with disabilities. He has called health care reform the "cause of his life."
