That was an excellent article you referenced; I’d suggest all read it.
In those first few months after 9/11 the press was not the complete adversary it became in later years least of all against the first lady. And Kennedy himself, in addition to the clip above, commented on her attentiveness in meetings where, in contrast to many self-important political figures, she would come early, listen to all and speak last. So they no doubt remember the respect Kennedy gave Laura even though his relationship with the President became rocky in later years.

The sole reason it became rocky was because Teddy’s dirty, lowdown and despicable lies and castigation of anything President Bush did, supported or was promoting, strictly for political haymaking and caving into and feeding his demented fringe base .. until he began to sound a tinge demented himself ... and perhaps even at the expense of his soul.
President Bush couldn’t have been more respectful to him, because of his core decency with everyone.
You just don’t bear that kind of public, vicious false witness .. especially against a such a good person ... and call yourself a Christian .. never mind good Roman Catholic. But then he certainly had ample baggage in the heretical department.
