"The senator’s actions in the hours and days after emerging from that pond tell us something ugly about Kennedy the man. That he got away with it tells us something ugly about American public life." Mark Steyn
Amidst the hagiography of this weekend's laying to rest of the mortal remains of one man, Steyn reminds us that we're all complicit when we allow the truth to slide down the rabbit hole.
Remember that Robert Packwood, Republican Senator, was driven from public life (when was the last time you heard his name) because he patted a woman's bum in the elevator. His biggest regret? That he wasn't a liberal Democrat. He'd be sitting in Harry Reid's seat now if that were the case.
