Mean-spirited Jerks of the Month Award Goes to . . .
the Weekly Standard blog for its diatribe on Obama's decision to award Ted Kennedy the Presidential Medal of Freedom (whom the whiz kid who wrote the piece called "Sir Dunksalot" - the reference being, of course, to the Mary Jo Kopechne/Chappaquidick Bridge incident). no, the incident should not be forgotten, but to epitomize Kennedy's career with it is IMO reprehensible.
