Shock! News! from Irish Central:

Kennedy 'wanted to go to heaven' says priest who stayed at his bedside

The Irish priest at Teddy Kennedy’s side as he died says “Teddy wanted to go, he went in peace and it was beautiful.” Monsignor Patrick Tarrant, a native of Cork who has been a priest for 56 years, was called to the Kennedy home on Tuesday evening from the nearby Our Lady of Victory Parish when Kennedy took a turn for the worse.

The truth is, the priest said that, “he expressed to his family that he did want to go. He did want to go to heaven. He was ready to go."

Was it ever in dispute that he wanted to go someplace else? Did I miss a report that "Kennedy weighs options: Beirut or Heaven for Eternity?"
