While I was on vacation, a Kennedy died. It wasn't the first time - that would have been ten years ago with the plane crash of John Jr. (Not that I'm saying there's a connection!)
Ted Kennedy, proclaimed all week by pundits on TV as "The Lion Of The Senate", succumbed to brain cancer and was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetary near his brothers John and Robert. When the news of his illness first became public last year, I wrote a Tiddlywinkydink post about the various actors who have played Senator Kennedy on TV over the years, and then added a Wish-Craft in which I expressed my hopes of who could play him in his later years.
And so on this Sunday, just over a week since he was laid to rest, Toobworld Central would like to salute the man in the daily "As Seen On TV" showcase:
