Think of it as very right and proper payback for both that and giving the nation Teddy for so long.

Not all of us in Massachusetts voted for Ted Kennedy. (I didn't, for example, and I'll bet our Gentle Hostess didn't either.) There were just never enough of us to make a difference. It's not easy to know, year after year, that your vote is thrown away. (A common joke here, at the end of 2009, was that the special election didn't matter -- Ted Kennedy would win anyway, alive or not.) I'd feel the same way about the folks in Pennsylvania who kept sending the despicable Jack Murtha to Congress... except that, being a conservative in Massachusetts, I sympathize. respectfully, Daniel in Brookline Oldflyer:

I feel genuine low-grade animosity toward people who ignored all of the evidence and put Obama in office. (I don't know what to do about my children). I tend to feel the same toward those states and congressional districts who send Statists and/or idiots to work their mischief on the rest of the country through the Congress.
