EPA/MATT CAMPBELLOn a recent Situation Room on CNN with Wolf Blitzer, the Senator spoke candidly about his unlikely friendship with the late Senator Kennedy of Massachusetts.Blitzer asked Sen. McCain about Kennedy's unique ability to get people of different political persuasions on the same page.JOHN MCCAIN: "Well, he did. Let me just give you a small example. He had his hideaway in the Capitol, you know. And it was pretty nice. He was one of the most senior members, you know. And you walked into his hideaway and there was pictures of Jack Kennedy, of Bobby, of his childhood, of his family. And he'd kind of take you on a little tour of, you know, his brothers and tell stories and anecdotes, put you at ease.And -- and whenever there was an event or anything like that, he had a remarkable way of sending out a little note or calling your family or something like that.If I can -- I don't want to -- I know your time is limited, but when Russ Feingold and I were awarded the John F. Kennedy Profiles in Courage Award, it happened to coincide with my son Jimmy's tenth birthday. I didn't want to get there until the very end. He said, look, please come earlier because it's important. Long story short, I came with my son, Jimmy. They had a coast guard cutter there and gave us cruise around Boston Harbor, birthday cake, all kinds of presents, sang at him a bunch of times. It was probably the best birthday Jimmy McCain ever had. That's Ted Kennedy."Senator John McCain pt. 1 Senator McCain talks about the global impact of Twitter, and remembers his good friend.
