The most progressive of American politicians is still a right wing or centrist on the world stage. Kennedy has his share of issues, but you need to look at the person as a whole, most notably his legislative accomplishment. You are free to dismiss the man and focus only on his foibles like so many of the hate-spouting talking heads of hate-radio, but the fact remains, without healthcare, without more progressive politics, the USA is doomed to drift towards a ever divided society on the brink of 1960s style unrest.

But as many of my colleagues tell me you have to separate the 'art' from the 'artist'. Unlike our past president 'Shrub', at least Ted <em>tried</em> to learn from his mistakes and right some of those wrongs. Comeback and visit anytime. Really appreciate your comment- SK All that is true DB.

Responsible for a woman's death under questionable circumstances. Drunkard. Socialist. Yes, a shining example of American nobility. Cheated on exams at Harvard. Responsible for a
