Yes, it's true that Teddy was never involved in the assassination of a foreign leader like brother John was with Diem of Vietnam or Bobby and his hit men going after Castro. He had a mishap with Mary Jo. Still, she was not a head of state and it didn't seem to be intentional.
The "liberal lion" stayed within a party that played along with the destruction of the regulatory system that protected the financial system, allowed for the worst disparities of income since the 1920's and couldn't get a decent health care bill through the Congress for 50 years.
I know I'm missing something here. The bullshit being shovelled by everyone from George Will to Keith Obermann just stuns me. Had Kennedy lead the fight for a real democratic party as in social democratic party, we might have someone to miss. As it is, he was just another player on the team that rules this country and ruins it; the torch is passed to one or another party hack: what is the difference to the average citizen?
