I can respect wanting to be tactful, but I can also respect irreverence...mainly to counter the "he was a hero" pabulum. I wish more were willing to neutralize the revisionism that will come to surround this man. These lies will be used to justify and support future lies for future politicians.

Although Ted Kennedy was in no way the worst guy in the world or in American history, he inflicted significant damage to the country and to the Constitution. And his last act was trying to get out of a scam of his own creation...changing the Mass. senatorial replacement legislation that he put in place for John Kerry in 2004. A fitting epitaph.

Be grateful for the irreverent haters, because without them no one would stand in the way of letting the establishment write about tyrants and fools in glowing terms - further indoctrinating the people to support tyrants and fools.
