Senator Ted Kennedy said of Buchwald’s passing, “Art was the Mark Twain of our time.”
“He’ll forever live on in our hearts and minds for his brilliant human observations. For decades there was no better way to start the day than to open the morning paper to Art’s column, laugh out loud and learn all over again to take the issues seriously in the world of politics, but not take yourself too seriously.
As Art said, “Whether it’s the best of times or the worst of times, it’s the only time we’ve got.” The special art of Art Buchwald was to make even the worst of times better. We’re fortunate to have had him for so long, and I’ll miss him very much.”
