Ted exemplified a lot of things that are wrong with American politics. He got his job via heredity, not due to any particular capacity of his own (his last name is what got him in the Senate), he was never subject to viable re-election challenges (meaning that there is little oversight on his activities), he was a career politician who knew nothing BUT politics (he had never held a ‘real job’ in his life), and he was corrupt (just look at all the “missing funds” from the Big Dig...)
He was also a hypocrite. On one hand, he claimed to champion wind power and alternative energy. But when a company wanted to install some wind turbines near his family’s private compound on Martha’s Vineyard, he threw a fit and had it blocked.
