“We know Bird and Kennedy have dark pasts - this is not the day to dwell on it.”
I agree - we should not dwell on or underscore Ted Kennedy’s involvement in the death of an innocent young woman, nor his getting kicked out of college for cheating, and his anti-American policies should also remain unmentioned.
As for Byrd, You are again correct that his Klan past and his infamous pork-barreling should likewise remain unspoken facts.
So thank you for pointing out in a dignified manner that the potential demise of these two questionable and dishonorable characters should lead us to give a pass to the previous acts committed by those corroded souls.

My Grandaddy used to tell a story about a man who got yelled at for holding a door for a woman. The woman shouted that he didn’t have to hold the door because she was a lady.
The man said he didn’t know whether she was a lady or not - he held the door because he was a gentleman.
well done. My style.
