WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senator Edward Kennedy, patriarch of one of America's most fabled political families, has been awarded a honorary knighthood by Queen Elizabeth, the British government said on Tuesday.

The award, in recognition of Kennedy's service to the U.S.-UK relationship and to Northern Ireland, comes as British Prime Minister Gordon Brown visits Washington to meet with President Barack Obama and address the U.S. Congress on Wednesday.

....so does that mean he can go party with Elton John and Paul McCartney?

I bet Mary Jo Kopechne isn't too thrilled either.

Ted Kennedy = drunken murderous thug. [:'(]

It's an honorary knighthood since he isn't British, he can't even legally use the term "sir". Only about 100 Americans have ever been knighted.
