About this cartoon: The "lion of the Senate" and last surviving brother of the powerful Kennedy clan of the 1960s, Edward M.Kennedy, died. While his personal life had ups and downs and questionable moments, his political life was one of action and advocacy for the poor, for underpaid workers, for healthcare for all, for the powerless, and Kennedy, usually called "Ted" or "Teddy," will be remembered as one of the most important and influential U.S. senators in American history.
