Ted


What a story - it's like some crappy Taylor Caldwell multi-generational potboiler - the big brothers falling one by one, the supposedly useless little brother finding his purpose, the multiple unspeakable tragedies, and the final fall at the climax of a fight over his most heartfelt issue. I talked about this with two of my classes - none of them had ever heard of Chappaquiddick --
Now, who's going to browbeat Congress into passing a good bill as a tribute like LBJ did with the Civil Rights Act? Hey, Orrin Hatch, I'm talking to you - stop saying that if Ted were around that it would be a "real bipartisan bill" - you've been around forever, too, so how about YOU write that bill?
