Default Hatch song for Kennedy

Next month at the Democratic National Convention, 74 year old Mormon Senator Orrin Hatch will have his song, Headed Home, which he wrote in honor of his 76 year old friend Senator Edward Kennedy played at the convention.

"House majority leader Steny H. Hoyer, Democrat of Maryland, called the song "a testament to the deep affection that Senator Hatch and Senator Kennedy have for one another. Both share a deep love for this country. I think that's what the song reflects," Hoyer said."

That's fantastic! In an era when partisanship become more and more bitter, it's refreshing to see two people of differing political opinions share such a great friendship. I wish them the best, and hope Senator Kennedy recovers well.
