| There isn't any reason why President Bush has to renounce a friendship with Ted Kennedy, just so long as he makes it clear to the American public that Mr. Kennedy is an utter ass when prescribing policy, and a distillery of meanness when he goes after a target, as with Robert Bork. There are those who frown on friendship across the aisle as if it were the subversion of a Manichaean divide — how can you be nice to Lucifer?
Well, Lucifer has his winning ways, which is of course why one must always beware of him. We angels have to keep our eyes on things. Semper paratus. Amen.
