No, you didn't say that.

That's why I italicized "Ed".

And actually, Ed didn't say that either. He said that Kennedy is corrupt.

David said he's drunk most of the time. Tom said he's half-senile.

They probably should have gotten individual posts referring them to the links, but I was lazy. Sorry if you took offence.

Kennedy's personal behavior has been erratic, but his public service as part of his office is unquestioned. Whether one agrees with his politics or not, he remains one of the hardest-working Senators in that house. Concerning his personal life, well, he might have sought to behave better. I wonder if I would be perfectly well-behaved if two of my brothers had been murdered by assassins and if I had broken my back in a plane crash. I wonder if I would have the courage to stay in public life when I could have afforded to retire.

The drunk and half-senile charges don't hold up when compared to his performance.
