Brain-Dead, or Just Brain-Damaged? Ted Kennedy's Healthcare Ideas

Is it me, or does anyone else think it's a bad idea to lionize and use the ideas of a guy who's basically now, if not for some time, brain-damaged?

I'm referring, of course, to unindicted manslaughterer Senator Teddy Kennedy of Massachusetts.

Since publicizing his brain tumor, I've wondered why anyone would now take his so-called work, i.e., wrecking the US healthcare sector, seriously. The guy's noggin is broken. His circuitry is fried.

Would you back a one-legged man in the Olympic 100-meter dash? Of course not.

Why are we even pretending to pay attention to this fossil? He's a walking- well, doddering- advertisement for term limits.

And we're going to restructure 17% of the US economy on the whims of a guy with a damaged brain that's slowly killing him?

This is beyond black humor. It's just plain stupid.
