The unforgiving minute

Curse you, Senator Edward M. Kennedy! Even though you're dead, you continue to thwart the good intentions of those bipartisanship-loving, reform-minded congressional Republicans:

The Associated Press and The Washington Post repeated the Republican claim that Sen. Ted Kennedy's absence from the health care debate prevented lawmakers from reaching a bipartisan compromise and that had Kennedy been present, agreement on health care reform would have been more likely.

Is there no limit, Sir, even in death, to your willingness to work against the very cause to which you dedicated the last four decades of your life?

Minute's up.
