I'm not certain "pour" was the best word choice in this Kennedy item headline. There's an old Irish joke about one last quart of Scotch for a dead drinking buddy being organically filtered before being shared at his grave site, but I'll pass on telling it just now.
Kennedy Mourners Pour in For Last Goodbye
Aaarrgh! Bushmills is NOT "Scotch." Mine Irish great-granny would look askance at yeh, lad.

Off subject, but how did Kennedy get out his car after it went into the lake? In pictures I have seen, all the windows and doors are closed.

"In pictures I have seen, all the windows and doors are closed."
Being a careful person, he turned off the engine, took the keys, got out, locked the door then swam to the surface.

I assume that the 'No Smoking' light is on around the casket - some of the fumes can be pretty potent.

Bet they did not have to embalm him. His veins were already full of Scotch.
He was well preserved already.
I am watching this service on TV now. Damn, what some God awful singing. Good grief. Damn.

Just a note about the commercial ABC AND CBC refuses to air.
Better know as the Ted Kennedy Memorial Death Care Bill.
