Clearly, no one who ever did anything wrong deserves to be remembered for anything but that. We just can’t afford forgiveness.

Bravo, Senator Kennedy. RIP. All these years later and still no accountability for those who crafted the torture policy, ordered it and those that carried it out; what a stain on our history.

Kennedy had more cojones than the rest of the Senate combined. It’s pathetic.

Sheldon Whitehouse is a worthy successor, has the brains and the drive and the spine. I expect great things from him in the next few years…

Contact your senators & fearful congresspersons TODAY and demand health care reform, with a public option, in Kennedy’s name. Nothing less.

“John Ashcroft was the great progressive bete noire, and it wouldn’t be known for another two years that for all his flaws”

I don’t think so, you should read AlterNet. They have a terrific search, here is the results for him.

Hell, all I have to do is sit back and close my eyes. Save 20 bucks. Good shots of the river boats, though. Great still of a Monitor, too, on the right side bottom.
