The Irreplaceable Senator

Ron Silliman has posted a nice anecdote about the late Edward Kennedy. Though Senator Kennedy was not without his flaws, there's no denying that America has lost one of its great champions of justice . Given the current state of affairs, the antagonism in this country to anything remotely progressive, which is typically drummed up behind the scenes by well-heeled corporate lobbyists and PR officers, it's sadly safe to say that Senator Kennedy is irreplaceable.
