BOSTON (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Bob Inglis received the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award on Sunday for reversing his position on climate change despite the predictable political fallout that helped cost the South Carolina Republican his seat in Congress.

Kennedy's grandson, Jack Schlossberg, presented the award to Inglis on Sunday at the JFK Library in Boston.

"My grandfather's legacy is kept alive by Bob's courageous decision to sacrifice his political career to demand action on the issue that will shape life on Earth for generations to come," said Schlossberg, son of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg.

Oh how brave he is.

Heck, Mother Erf will probably cool 2-3 degrees just to show solidarity and unity with this great achievement.

Unicorns will smile again, rainbows will appear everywhere, the lion will lay down with the gazelle.

Isn't Liberalism just wonderful?

OK, sarcasm off

The "Profiles In Courage" Award might as well be called the Lenin Peace Prize.

What a filthy,filthy,filthy family.

Profiles in Courage, “written” by JFK for which he received the Pulitzer Prize or some such thing, was not a bad book. It also was not written by JFK, probably not one word, as the author was Ted Sorensen.
