Bullseye! I've got to hand it to GW. He may not have fooled the Dems but he sure has the pubbies fooled. Maybe GW could name a building after Ted Turner/Hanoi Jane. At the ceremoney they could trash him like the Kennedy's did. (Excluding Reagan, have you EVER seen a R-president that didn't get eaten up by these socialists time after time). This just doesn't happen by chance all of those times.

There is something to your point. R's get eaten up by the left because they are not politically adept enough to defend themselves.

Bush the Elder immediately comes to mind. President W. is much more politically adept than his father, however, and is smarter than he likes to let on. I have no problem with him being friendly with Ted Kennedy. Asking the President to do otherwise is silly.

However, I think most conservatives would have a major problem with any bill that Ted Kennedy supports. Kennedy would never, ever, under any circumstances, support legislation that would actually reform the public school system. The teacher's unions, and his own leftist ideology, would absolutely prohibit it.
