Ted Kennedy: a class no-class act remembered
Jules Crittenden, "Forward Movement"
...listening to Reflections on Sen. Kennedy
Lion of the Senate on the Diane Rehm Show on the drive home last night, I was deeply moved to hear Newsweeks Ed Klein tell guest host Katty Kay about Kennedys love of humor. How the late senator loved to hear and tell Chappaquiddick jokes, and was always eager to know if anyone had heard any new ones. Not that Kennedy lacked remorse, Klein quickly added, seeming to intuit that my jaw and perhaps those of other listeners had just hit the floorboards. I gather it was a self-deprecating maneuver on Kennedys part, exercised with the famous Kennedy charm, though it sounds like one of those I guess you had to have been there things.
