Letters to the Web Editor

By now we all know about Senator Ted Kennedy's illness. I won't be a hypocrite and say I liked him and respected his political career. Respect is to be earned, not bought or acquired.

I can't muster up any compassion or sadness about this -- to me, he is just another 76-year-old man who was just diagnosed with cancer and drove his car into a river, leaving the female passanger to drown. He waited for over 10 hours before he called for assistance so he could get his story straight.
