A toast to the senator from Massachusetts
May 21st, 2008 . by MartyIf there’s one thing I learned growing up in Washington is never look a tulip in the eye and call it cross. I met Senator Kennedy for the first time when I was a boy. Always the mentsch unless he was drunk and that was only for a period of years, his angry drunk years. But for most of his life, he showed class and caring. So even though he sits on the opposite side of the aisle, I extend my respect to a friend, to a mentor. Speedy recovery, Mister Senator.
