Even the most strict Constitutional constructionist could never be as mean and autocratic as Ted Kennedy was on his off days, or even his best days. He managed to raise the carping factor to an art form, attacking the candidate on trivial grounds, and setting a litmus test that was never challenged.
And night time farts can be so bad you have to get up and fan the bed covers and spray the air with Oust before you can lie down again. HAVE to pay attention to that.
Seriously, you just expounded on the ills of Ted Kennedy. Do you in your wildest dreams think that he ever was awakened in the middle of the night by a fart (beer, whiskey, drug induced or not)?
