Many of the same people who are "proud" of Teddy Kennedy are proud of the Daley's. How blind can one be?
JFK was a true leader and a visionary. Teddy - not so much.
I think Teddy lined the pockets of himself and friends for years much like the Dailey's did in Chicago.
I was at a White Sox game in Chicago about 1 month back when the "honored" the recently retired Richie Daile. The response was very unenthusiastiuc. Ironically, Obama had a fund raiser the same night and I think all the "connected' people were off kissing a different duppa.
