Wes Pruden of The Washington Times,a regular weekly contestantfor the dual prizes of “most gleefully offensive conservative column” and “most likely to be linked by Drudge (non-Camille Paglia bracket),” pushes the “Wellstoning” meme, and pushes it hard.
“„Democrats are smiling through their tears, determined not to waste an opportunity and figuring out how to channel grief over the death of Teddy Kennedy into a campaign to save President Obama’s health-care scheme … Celebrity grief, real and not so real, will pass. A moment always does. The next celebrity death is just around the corner.
One quick note. Pruden snarks that “President Obama once more demonstrated a community activist’s knowledge of American history with his description of Teddy as the greatest senator in history.” But the president did not say that.He said that Kennedy “became not only one of the greatest senators of our time, but one of the most accomplished Americans ever to serve our democracy.” This pretty clearly scotches Pruden’s argument that Obama was too stupid to realize that LBJ (who left the Senate in 1961) and Daniel Webster (1850) were better than Kennedy.
I’m sure The Times will issue a correction.
