Ted Kennedy; No Prince

WaPo's Eugene Robinson laments the loss of Teddy Kennedy's "moral clarity."

That the nation is so moved by the passing of Edward Moore Kennedy testifies to his skill, grace and determination at playing a role that must have been infinitely more difficult than it sounds: a prince fated never to be king.

I, for one, was not so moved.

Teddy Kennedy played many other roles, not so gracefully; drunk, womanizer, coward, killer. He should rest in peace but he should be lionized in death. I'll explain why in tomorrow's paper.
