There will be lots and lots of time later to debate Ted Kennedy’s legacy - the good and the bad of it. I will gladly join in when that comes, but I won’t do that today.

I do wish condolences for the Kennedy family, and for those people here who feel a personal sadness in his death I wish you comfort as well.
