Just in the interest of fairness. I like to see a person remembered for their WHOLE record.
Well put, Leo. So many liberals are saying what a wonderful big-hearted humanitarian he was, and they ignore Chappaquiddick or blow it off as a "youthful mistake." It wasn't a mistake, it was a crime, and Ted Kennedy got away with it!

Ironically there were plenty of other liberal politicians of far better character who died without even a fraction of the fanfare Kennedy received. Guess they weren't related to any celebrity families.
