Only on the left. Kennedy's death has quickly become something to be used for political gain.
From Legal Insurrection:
" it’s time to come back after Labor Day with a single coherent Senator Edward M. Kennedy Health Care Reform Bill, and to twist whatever arms, ears, or other parts are necessary to get a good strong comprehensive bill passed and signed, NOW. We owe the memory of a great man no less."This theme of naming a bill after Kennedy is sure to pick up steam, as Democrats are desperate to do anything to overcome public opposition on the merits. Witness this San Francisco Chronicle column today:Yes, it would glorify him to name what is perhaps the last nail in America's coffin after him. Even More than Chappaquiddic. But what's funny is,There would be no more fitting tribute to the passing of Ted Kennedy, than to pass a health-care reform bill by early fall.
when Rush Limbaugh used the phrase "Kennedy Memorial Health Bill," [in predicting how Democrats would use Kennedy's death] he was harshly criticized.
