#1 History books will teach that Senator Kennedy was a Statesman. They will tell of his ability to cut deals across party lines while never compromising his principles. His personal and political downfalls will be folded into the collective Kennedy tragedy. The narrative of a man of redemption will eclipse the unimpressive beginnings to his legislative career. All his ambition will become altruism and all his privilege will turn out to be selfless sacrifice. Whether Senator Edward Kennedy is worthy of such blind praise is debatable but whats not debatable is America has a penchant for post-mortem white washes.
