The important thing to take away from this, is the perception of the Sheeple.

Those that are only peripherally aware of politics (vast majority) see GW as the uniter, little tommy Daschle as the divider.

Which is the brilliance of this move, as the other big news item relating to the President happens to be Daschle blaming Bush for the recession. The average person doesn't know who Daschle is, but the average person does know who Ted Kennedy is. He's a g-ddammned icon, and Bush praising Kennedy makes Daschle's actions (or lack there of)look even more desperate. Hell, even Dianne Fienstein came out against Daschle's speech.

Yep. GWB's speaking kindly of Ted Kennedy is the political equivalent of a swift kick to Daschle's groin. I'll bet Tommy is stamping his little feet in anger. :-)
