He's dead. He did some good things (if you're a liberal, anyway) and clearly did one very bad thing. Do the good things (which only count if you agree they're good, right?) redeem the bad? I don't know. What I also don't know is why we (or our media, at least) react the way we (they) do when somebody like this dies.

Have we, at long last, no dignity?

edit: to be clear, I'm not whining about people hating on Teddy Kennedy. I'm whining about people making huge big deals out of politicians and celebs dying (or living, for that mater, I suppose).
