#1 Before you scoff at Euro-lefties willing to argue for 21st-century droit de seigneur, recall the grisly eulogies for the late Edward Kennedy. At the end of the day, said Sen. Evan Bayh, he cared most about the things that matter to ordinary people. The standard line of his obituarists was that this was Teds penance for Chappaquiddick and Mary Jo Kopechne or, as the Aussie columnist Tim Blair put it, She died so that the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act might live.

Yes, Ted Ken!

Ah, Steyn!
