"So where does the Senate include funding for (take a deep breath here because this is going to make your blood boil!) the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate to the tune of $8 million?
"It's right there on page 383. It is part of a $41,400,000 appropriation for the Department of Defense!
"This is money, which could be spent on more flak jackets for the troops or better armor on the trucks they ride in through the streets of Afghanistan, is headed for the Edward M. Kennedy Institute.
"Money which could be spent to assist military families so that they are no longer required to rely on food stamps while one of their family members is risking his/her life to defend us.
"Money which should be spent to equip our sons and daughters who have sacrificed huge chunks of their lives to defend us is going to the Edward M. Kennedy Institute.
"It is mind-boggling! A taxpayer funded shrine for Ted Kennedy!

Be neat to have one scene showing when she realized he was bailing out, one showing her trying to get out, another when the last of the air was nearly gone, another when it was gone, and so on.
