Perhaps the Dems will reprise their great 2004 Paul Wellstone funeral debacle where they used a solemn occasion to sneer at and insult their opponents. "If the naysayers, fascists, racists and right-wing traitors had helped him pass healthcare reform, instead of fighting him every step of the way, Ted Kennedy would be alive today to continue carrying the torch passed down to him by his brothers John and Robert."

If that were not the case, I would say the passing of such a cowardly, corrupt, treasonable hypocrite who epitomized the worst in Congress should go unnoticed and the grave unmarked.
