I did not agree with his politics at all, but I respected his knowledge, and his oratory skills.
Knowledge of what?
Senate rules he invented?
Oratory skills?
To ramble endlessly about his dog while he filibustered civil rights?
Come on!
Yeah. Thesbians will be listening to him for ages. He’s right up there. We’ve lost the Shakespeare of our times!
( snort )
He was a intellectually shallow, blow machine who will be soon forgotten and never read again.
I respected neither. The sun is shining a little brighter. The birds are singing a little louder. It’s a beautiful day. I haven’t smiled this much since Ted Kennedy died.
