Whatever Senator Kennedy's flaws, and we ALL have them -- including the incumbent President and his wife -- he and Caroline take the legacies of his brothers VERY SERIOUSLY. The Kennedy family's flaws did not negate their SERVING the Nation and giving their lives in SERVING it. Two brothers served during WWII and the eldest DIED doing so. The second, our 35th President, was never the same physically afterward and was an actual war hero. Ted Kennedy has never trivially leveraged or invoked the names of his brothers in the last 40 years. Ditto, Caroline, her father. This is an important moment FOR THEM and FOR US. They are "passing the torch to a new generation." It is a beautiful thing to see and it is up to boomers, who have not left a political legacy to be proud of, to use the time we have left as Senator Kennedy is doing -- to help Xers/Yers/Millennials prepare to assume their role in a very different world than the Clintons' left us -- and most certainly the Bushes left us. It is time and we should not mock the Senator for taking a LEADERSHIP role in helping with this transition. The Republicans should do the same on their side in all kinds of ways. The Clintons should leave the stage, with GRACE. They had their chance and the way they left The White House and now, has left a bad taste. 40 years from now, Billary will be remembered for...Bob Johnson's SPECTACLE and the SC circus. Of course they and their surrogates will MOCK this moment, as they do everything. For shame for a retired President. Turn the page.
