Senator Ted Kennedy’s funeral is dominating the dials this morning. For those of you unable to get to a television both CNN.com and ABC News are carrying it live online (sans the history-rich coverage, alas), as is the NYT.com homepage.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Basilica, where the service is being held, is packed with dignitaries; the above pic was snapped a few minutes ago (oh to be a fly on the pew of that conversation!). You can find of list of the speakers here — President Obama is slated to give the eulogy. Below is a look at how the Twitterverse is reacting.

    Obama and the Dems have sunk to a new low using the Kennedy grandkids to promote the health care plan.

    BTW, I don’t understand why CNN brought Anderson back from NOLA early just to regurgitate Wolf’s questions to other commentators and announce commercial breaks. As far as I can tell, he has no unique perspective to add to this spectacle.

    I have to admit that watching this over the top funeral this morning has reminded me why I don’t trust the Catholic Church.
