Ted Kennedey is a Ded Kennedey

[Tock]

Thats all damn good and well, but it doesnt discount who he really was. Its a shame that he was ever re-elected. There could easily have been another democratic senator that could have voted for all those things too and not been a drunk or liar or a coward.

The people of Massachusetts had the responsibility and opportunity to judge his character and suitability for his job. After the Chappaquiddick situation, he asked the citizens of the state if he should quit or not. They said he should keep representing them, and they returned him to the US Senate several times after that.

So if you are not impressed with the representatives that the voters of Massachusetts send to the US Senate, your quarrell is with the voters, not with the elected officials.

That said, yes, I agree; they could have elected more sober representatives. But then again, they would not have had Ted Kennedy working for them.

No one said that you had to be smart to vote....
