Clips of Senators' statements on Kennedy

Warner gave a very moving statement. I don't know if Byrd is on this particular compilation, but he broke down.

He's so beloved.

A DUer told a story of how Kennedy always had his dog with him in the Senate. He would come in with Kennedy, lie down at his feet and sleep when Kennedy did his thing, then get up and leave with him. That is just so charming.

Listening to these Senators on the floor - very impressive.

3. I'd like to hear what Dodd has to say.

He and Ted are buds from way back -- they were bachelors together! I noticed he was to the side of Kerry when Kerry gave his statement (not on the Senate floor - but in the hallway, it looked like), but on that clip it was just Kerry speaking. Kerry gave a fabulous statement, too, by the way.

I'm with you -- and so many of us here and across the country :cry:

4. Very moving.

Every statement I've heard has been heartfelt and REAL -- you can tell this has personally affected these people.

5. That's Awfully Nice of Magic Bullet Theory Man

You know... the same guy who made up a theory in regards to the assassination of Ted's own brother.

I'm sure Sphincter, I mean Specter really meant it all.
