#1 The 69-year-old senator ... headed back because it was too dangerous.

Almost makes you wish he had tried ...

#2 "Ted Kennedy Attempts Rescue At Sea"

So did he offer himself as a flotation device or did he "swim for help?"

#5 Farrenkopf said Kennedy is familiar with the water and ``thought he would do the right thing.''

Of course he would. His personal and political reputation aren't at stake this time around.

#6 Notice how Teddy's basking in the attention - he was all over the local news today. I have no doubt he clearly informed the emergency personnel who was making the call.

Contrast this with the recent incident where Nomar and an acquaintance actually jumed into the water (one from a second-floor deck) to rescue some people and absolutely refused any comments to the media afterwards.

#8 But If I rememeber correctly, I believe one of the Republican Senators is an MD (Frist, IIRC), and one time stopped at an accident scene and rendered aid.
