Anthony Loves Ted Kennedy

Just kidding.

For what it’s worth, Anthony, I thought this was one of your best pieces. The very fact that you were able to sit through any of the proceeding is impressive enough in my book. But you also brought some important info to light. We all know Senator Kennedy is an ignorant windbag and a menace to society, but so are more than 99.9% of the present crop of congressmen. That goes without saying. What is important right now is that Kennedy made some very good speeches about the Iraq war at a time when few others were doing likewise, and his comments on executive power the other day — comments you’d never hear from the “conservatives” who mindlessly cheer Alito — were spot on. I am glad to know that at least someone is saying these things, even if that someone is Ted Kennedy.

For Kennedy even to go after Truman’s seizure of the steel mills under the pretext of war — this is the kind of thing one hears only on libertarian websites and blogs. Good for him.
