The Moral Imbecility of Teddy and Eddie.
So Teddy Kennedy enjoyed hearing and telling Mary Jo Kopechne jokes. Wow! And Ed Klein thinks that was one of his good features! Double Wow! [here]
Blue Crab Boulevard notes that Kennedy was not well-respected outside the narrow community of liberal elite institutions and suggests that naming the Left's health care initiative for him would be a mistake. There ain't much Kennedy love out there in the real world.
I would note that Kennedy's much lauded generosity and compassion was financed by other people's money, not his own.
