Sen. Kennedy: ‘I Wish I Understood Better Why Bad Things Happen to Good People’

EXCERPT:

KENNEDY: "I wish I understood better why bad things happen to good people. If I make it to heaven, I'm going to ask. For those people who don't believe in objective evil, all you have to do is look at what happened in our city early this morning. If this doesn't trigger the gag reflex of every American, every fair amount of Americans, I'll be very surprised. I'm here because these are my people. I'm here because these are my people's friends. I'm here because there are a lot of Louisianians who are scared tonight. I don't want them to be.”
