don't you think that from the point of view of the WaPo, calling
someone an adherent of "New Deal and postwar liberalism" is an example
of speaking ill of the dead? after all, they're anti-liberal.

>From an editorial in [Wednesday's] Washington Post:

TED KENNEDY once said that his own legislative record was one he’d
love to run against. A number of people tried, of course, and lost.
But then, they weren’t Ted Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy spent 46 years in the
Senate hewing pretty steadily to his course while others trimmed or
just plain bailed out.

He remained committed to a brand of New Deal and postwar liberalism
that, even when it had lost some of its luster and had run up against
a conservative tide in politics, still had much to offer the country.
