I'm not a Ted Kennedy fan but I have to give the man credit. He is showing incredible class and strength in facing the cameras with this news.

I agree that what happened in his past was ugly and tragic, but I do think he has paid for that over and over. I doubt he can really forget nor forgive his cowardice on that evening. Hopefully, he has grown and learned.

To lump Kennedy in the same class as Simpson or Manson is really beyond the pale. Ted Kennedy was a coward. He did not murder deliberately. It was not an act of malice. It was an accident that became a tragedy because of his actions. It was stupid and venal. Fud, I sincerely hope you never make a mistake or use poor judgment. I doubt you would be able to live with yourself afterwards; unless, of course, your standards only apply to others, not to you. We all need and deserve compassion at times.
