I'll start.
"An important chapter in our history has come to an end," said Obama. "Our country has lost a great leader, who picked up the torch of his fallen brothers and became the greatest United States Senator of our time."
That's a bonus.

If this is true, this country is more fucked up than I ever imagined. Why was he the greatest of our time? because he was too stupid or drunk to be elected President or be martyred like his brothers? Because he hung around a long time? Hell, so did Strom Thurmond. WHAT did Teddy boy do that made him the GREATEST of all time? That is bullshit.
Vice President Joe Biden diverged from planned remarks at an Energy Department event to talk at length — fighting tears the whole time — about his friend and colleague of many decades in the Senate.
"I truly, truly am distressed by his passing," Biden said haltingly. "You know, Teddy spent a lifetime working for a fair and more just America. And for 36 years, I had the privilege of going to work every day and literally — not figuratively — sitting next to him and being a witness to history. ... I don't think we shall ever see his like again."
Thank God for small favors.
I hope St. Peter allowed Mary Jo to slam the Pearly Gates shut in his face.
