Thread Name: Respectful discussion of Edward Kennedy
Subject: RE: Respectful discussion of Edward Kennedy
Who says it's misguided? It is unfortunate that the corruption and self-serving nature of conservative politics and America's corporations make putting others first almost an impossibility.

robo, that blogger finally came around to an appreciation of Kennedy, but he took such a long time of doing it and finding darker and darker critics along the way that it almost amounts to "damning with faint praise." He lets stand his assessment of political corruption even though he eases up on Kennedy's personal kindness and sincerity. That certainly constitutes a "mixed" review!
