Teddy Kennedy

Wednesday, August 26, 2009
From Deus Ex Malcontent, the best eulogy of the Lion of the Senate I've read today:
Love him or hate him, tire of his personal triumphs and tragedies or be fascinated by them, Ted Kennedy was a force of nature; a larger-than-life, yet all-too-human, champion of unapologetically liberal values; a man who fought for the poor, against racism, and who took up the torch of community service and volunteerism -- even during a lengthy period in our nation's history when such issues were anything but fashionable.

Sleep well, Senator. I hope we're worthy of your legacy.
