I’m having more than a little bit of trouble understanding how and why Ted Kennedy is suddenly a kindly, revered, heroic, honorable, heaven-blessed, benevolent white-haired gentleman.
I wish him well and I sincerely hope he recovers, as I wish no one ill and hope everyone recovers from whatever has gone wrong, but to single him out as just a little bit below the angels is beyond my comprehension.
Isn’t this the same horny drunk who persuaded a young woman – who was not his wife – to get in the back seat of his car, drove off a bridge, abandoned her in the water, saved his own ass, and went home? And never once apologized for it? And called it an “accident” and still does?
Drunks behind the wheel are no different than drunks with guns in malls. That’s no accident, either.
Perhaps I am mistaken, and there is another Ted Kennedy.
