This Would Be A Fitting Tribute, I Think (Updated with Bipartisanship and Collegiality!)
Wow, this is a funny cartoon.
Hey, if the MSM can crown him King of All Bipartisans (seriously, that’s the current Ted meme) when in truth he never compromised a single progressive principle, then we can point out how he got to that position.
UPDATE: Wow.
Meanwhile, listening to ”Reflections on Sen. Kennedy … Lion of the Senate” on the Diane Rehm Show on the drive home last night, I was deeply moved to hear Newsweek’s Ed Klein tell guest host Katty Kay about Kennedy’s love of humor. How the late senator loved to hear and tell Chappaquiddick jokes, and was always eager to know if anyone had heard any new ones. Not that Kennedy lacked remorse, Klein quickly added, seeming to intuit that my jaw and perhaps those of other listeners had just hit the floorboards. I gather it was a self-deprecating manuever on Kennedy’s part, exercised with the famous Kennedy charm, though it sounds like one of those “I guess you had to have been there” things.
Just call that a green light for tasteless Kennedy jokes, if you like.
Also, here’s some of that calm, friendly bipartisanship. And some more.

I love that "Day By Day" strip. I think I'd like to have it on a t-shirt. It angers me to no end that the Democrats want to turn a felon that should've been serving a long prison sentence into a framer of modern-day American government. Talk about selective memory. . .
