A Rebellion and an Awkward Embrace
1st February 2008
As a conservative I would say Ted Kennedy has spent much of his career being not just wrong about the issues but so deeply wrong, so consistently and reliably wrong that it had a kind of grandeur to it.
Which makes even more significant instances when so-called conservatives cozen up to him — as Bush did on education, or McCain did on amnesty for illegal immigration.
Take a look at the picture. Evil has a face. “A man can smile, and smile, and be a villain.”
