1. those Kennedys....
....have always had the BEST speechwriters. Damn! It was beautifully written and he gave it well.

He's looking great, incidentally. Did he do the low-carb thing? Or did he have some plastic surgery? He looks much healthier than in recent years.

on edit: looking back, it was you both times. No offense, but this is detrimental to my self esteem.

6. Extraordinary from beginning to end.

The class, the style, the delivery, the message. The guy is a master. You see this type of people speaking and then you turn around and see Bush, Chenney, Rumsfeld and right away you understand the reason for the mess America and the World is in. It's a shame that so many American's still cannot see it.

8. I also had
Sam Donelson, Pat Buchanan and Alexander Haig on my route

One Sunday morning I got stuck in the snow while turning around in Alexander Haig's driveway. I was afraid he was going to come out and say "I'm in control here.":)

13. I disagree
tragically his brothers were cut down in their prime. Teddy survived the attempt on his life and went on to do more for america than his brothers ever had the oportunity to do. We remember them as young and promising. Teddy has had to carry the burdens for all of them. His life has not been easy and he is every bit as good as they were.

14. Ted had a better career god willing , but
Bobby and Jack were so incredibly smart and I think each of them were better orators. Jack was like a prince, something you don't see with Ted. Ted is great , but their indivdual ability as politicians I would award Bobby and Jack as the winners.
