True story about Ted Kennedy. A while ago, when he was really in his boozing days, one of his fellow Senators told him, look, Ted, if you keep this up, you are going to lose your seat. You've got to straighten up and get it together.
Guess who that Senator was?
Daschle? Nope. Kerry? Uh uh. Gore? Sorry, wrong answer.
That Senator was one of the most conservative Senators out there, Orrin Hatch. He and Kennedy disagree on virtually everything, but they are good friends. Go figure.
