"I Lost the Sandwiches"



By Zamboni

It's been an exhausting day for many reasons, but chief among them is the fact that we cats still haven't recovered from former Senator John Culver's hilarious tribute last night to his late friend and colleague, Ted Kennedy.

As we were trying to catch our breath between guffaws, it dawned on us that many years ago, Senator Culver was one of the first Democratic victims of the then-nascent right-wing attack machine. How ironic that the Republican who beat him is current Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, whose conduct in the health care "debate" has been so utterly despicable.

We were struck throughout the eulogies and tributes at the classy and wonderful people with whom Senator Kennedy surrounded himself.

When you're not so classy, you surround yourself with people like — well, like Lee Atwater.

'Nuff said.
