His brother Jack escalated the Vietnam War and is remembered as a dove who never, ever would have involved America in Vietnam had he lived. His brother Bobby, who wiretapped the Rev. Martin Luther King,Jr.’s phones and bugged his hotel rooms, is perversely remembered as a civil-rights martyr -- with his picture hanging alongside King’s in the homes of many black Americans. And Ted Kennedy, who caddishly left a woman to die as he plotted ways to rescue his political career, found himself canonized as a saint of the women’s movement. This paragraph says SO MUCH about liberalism. Not about the Kennedys, but about just how convoluted liberal thought processes can be.
