That is the question I posed to Senator Ted Kennedy around twenty years ago. He had just walked into my lobby and asked to be called a cab. I called him a cab. I then had the chance to express the honor it was to meet him and/or thank him for his and/or his families service, as well as get his autograph.*
Nowadays the same question is apropos. Rachel Maddow discusses the Revisionist History that Republicans are creating and Keith Olbermann covered it just preceding the Senator's passing.

(8-28-09: See comment and latest McCain There is no compromise on an option. By definition. No option, is surrender not compromise. That is not what Senator Kennedy should be remembered for. Sorry, the link was worth repeating. That is not what should define a legacy. )
[Better Seque: A legacy mourned. Bernie Sanders on "the cause". His final speech. His domination. The torch.]

The thought which I preemptively titled "Winding Down / Cracking Up", specifically alluded to the health reform process and the bi-partisan loony tunes, and forseeing the former's success over the latter.
