To his credit Ted did sponsor many big giveaway programs and some unnecessary environmental crap. However, as generous as his legislation has been to those who don't want to work, none of it cost Ted a dime. Instead, he elected to make us pay for it provided he get the credit from the happy donees.

Ted's love for the poor and meek was legendary according to the leftist (redundant?) journalists in the major and not so major (Rodale) media. One can only imagine the untold hours he must have spent obsessing over the misfortunes of the underprivlidged while sailing, playing touch football, and partying in Hyannisport, Palm Beach and places unknown. What sacrifice!

There's talk about naming the health care bill after Ted. That's pretty interesting when you consider that there is no way in hell he would ever let himself fall under the same plan that's been proposed by Congress.

I thought of unsubscribing from Rodale's email list several weeks ago but I've become fascinated by the consistently leftist leanings of this particular article's author. In fact, I anxiously await her next piece of work.

It's only a matter of time before the libs start clamoring for his canonization. His past will be white-washed and all you'll hear is about the good things Ted Kennedy did, and they'll conveniently forget about all the corruption. A man gets away with murder, but that's ok b/c he made the air clearer. Oh, wait, the media's already done all that.

I guess the needs of the many outweighed the needs of the few.
Kennedy should have been in jail long before he did any of these things because of Chappaquiddick.
He tried to make up for his early stupidity in magnanimous ways but I'm sure the girl's family still hurts that a Kennedy got away with her death.
