The Lowest Common Denominator

First of all, my best wishes are with Senator Ted Kennedy and his family as they come to grips with his diagnosis of a malignant brain tumor. As Jay over at folkbum mentioned, even the “good” prognosis for Senator Kennedy is pretty bad.

During his time in the United States Senate, Ted Kennedy has been the embodiment of a liberal lion, which no doubt must be the cause of some of the crass and downright despicable stuff I’ve seen and heard in reference to Senator Kennedy’s situation. To be honest, there are some folks on the right who’ve shown themselves to be above such pettiness at a time like this, and those folks are to be commended for putting aside ideological differences and keeping their fellow man in their thoughts.
