I have no respect for Ted Kennedy and probably never will. The liberal press isn't so much "whitewashing" him as they are diverting attention away from health care socialization. Ted may have actually survived a few more weeks/months but was convinced to "take one for the team" as he always has.

Not calling the cops is a serious issue, though he wasn't the only one who didn't call them. Also, there is a No Duty to Rescue clause that I bet holds in Texas.
