Ted Kennedy



Well, my post below blaming Ted Kennedy for Carter's loss was, as it turned out, pretty badly timed.

Like everyone likely to read this, I wish him well. Am I the only one a little amazed at the eulogistic tone of the news stories about him? Big news organizations have obituaries prepared in advance, I know from personal experience (since I wrote some of them at The Bergen Record). But it seems like they're dipping into them a little early. I hope, to borrow from Mark Twain, that reports of his death are highly exaggerated.
