Time shamelessly to exploit the Democrats' fallen hero

Robert Byrd has it exactly right.

Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) called for the health care reform legislation to be named after the late Sen. Ted Kennedy. In a statement, Byrd said, "In his honor and as a tribute to his commitment to his ideals, let us stop the shouting and name calling and have a civilized debate on health care reform which I hope, when legislation has been signed into law, will bear his name for his commitment to insuring the health of every American."

Let the Baucuses, Dorgans, and Nelsons of the Senate know that to drag feet further on health care is to spit on the grave of Ted Kennedy. Appeal to the Hatches, McCains and Snowes for one last gesture of respect to their former colleague. Hoist his image high, rally around it, exploit his death for all it's worth. Teddy would have wanted it that way.
