If you thought Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy has been around forever, you would be right. The man is old. And Congress has proof - he was recently honored for casting his 15,000th roll call vote in the Senate.
The only ones who beat him are the still-alive-but-barely Robert Byrd and the dead-as-a-doornail Strom Thurmond.
It's finally a bit of good news for Kennedy, whose family recently encountered a White Van Man, whose ex-wife was found with a concussion on the Boston streets in 2005, and whose reputation as an environmentalist took a hit when he went after Cape Wind.
However, one news outlet in particular is shocked that Kennedy didn't get the media spotlight when he cast that all-important vote. The Washington Post was appalled - appalled, they say! - at the "stunning oversight." Look, when Larry Craig is allegedly getting his freak on in airport bathrooms and all the Bush appointees are leaving like rats on a sinking ship, can you blame us for not noticing a Senator who is somewhat normal in comparison?
