Secularists Reaction To The Passing Away Of Ted Kennedy

This is rancid even by Huffington Post standards. Melissa Lafsky muses as to how Mary Jo Kopechne would have viewed Kennedy’s career.

She ends her piece with the following line:

“Who knows — maybe she’d feel it was worth it.”

For the benefit of our younger readers who may not be familiar with the name Mary Jo Kopechne:

Already read Howie’s story. Just read Jonah’s. Zipped thru Wallis’ piece on how Teddy was a bigtime unifier. Then remembered the Land Of Back Alley Abortions speech. Or his other stemwinders, particularly against the incursion in Iraq- delayed memo to Ted: we won. Noting in your headline that the good Rev. Wallis is a lapsed Catholic. Figures. Just like Teddy- nothing like serious deviation from Catholic teaching to constrict the brain cells.

Tito,

Jim Wallis is an Evangelical.

Mark,

I guess the devil is in the details which you certainly know well enough of.
