Ted Kennedy remembrance of the day... 

Ted Kennedy had a great sense of humor, his biographer, Ed Klein, says.

"One of his favorite topics of humor was indeed Chappaquiddick itself," Klein, former editor of the New York Times Sunday Magazine, said on WAMU 88.5 FM in Washington, DC.

"He'd ask people, 'Have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick?' ... Not that he didn't feel remorse over the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, but that he still always saw the other side of everything, and the ridiculous side of things." [Page Six]
