    The interesting things I've read this past day is how so many of the old time Republicans, and Nancy Reagan, told of the friendship and kindness that they had with Senator Kennedy. It seems in these days of yelling and screaming that we don't see that collegialty on the Senate floor among members of the rival parties these days.
    Agreed. No doubt he was partisan and perhaps bitterly so. Given the precedents he set with respect to Supreme Court appointees etc., but the one thing I have heard repeatedly was that (perhaps as a result of not getting universal health care when it was offered on a silver platter in hopes of either a better offer or one that his party could lay claim to credit) he would make concerted efforts to coalition build across the aisle on issues of common interest.

      Drake didn't even wait for the body to get cold before he started attacking.
      It was the defining moment of his life, and the last moment of someone elses. How is it an attack?

        OK I've said two nice things about Teddy.

        OTOH if Oerdin wants to talk about Camelot that at least opens the door for discussions about the Lady in the Lake.

          How exactly did I "attack" Kennedy? I simply linked to the BBC obit and one of the pictures in the article. I made no comment on his death.

                            Someone write this down in some record book. Someone besides Bush got blamed.
