It's a fitting legacy to him that one of his last earthly acts was trying to be two-faced once again.

Capitol Briefing - Momentum Builds for Temporary Kennedy Replacement

A brief summary:

When Mitt Romney was governor, Teddy was afraid John Kerry might be elected president, and Mitt could appoint his successor. Teddy and his Democrat friends maneuvered so that a special election within 145-160 days would determine the successor.

Once Teddy realized that Democrats would be short one senate vote should he die, he (last week) wrote a letter suggesting that the state reverse the earlier legislation, in order to allow the (now Democratic) governor to appoint a successor immediately.

Good old Teddy--a piece of shit to the very end.

Or is this perfectly acceptable?
