Daring Dream
She's a bright and competent newcomer to the the legislature - so why is she showing symptoms of being a lacky, or an entrenched insider?
A Massachusetts lawmaker is proposing naming Logan International Airport after Senator Edward M. Kennedy, in what is likely to be one of a series of proposals to memorialize the senator's nearly half-century of legislative accomplishments.Okay, she is liberal, and liberals are known to get goofy, but is this sort of self congratulatory behavior what the public wants to see during this economy from members of the ruling class?
Representative Lori Ehrlich, a Marblehead Democrat, filed legislation today that would name the airport Logan-Kennedy International Airport. “An outpouring of local appreciation was accompanied by tributes from several luminaries from around the nation and the world,” Ehrlich wrote in a letter to lawmakers, asking them to sign onto her legislation. “We now have an opportunity to memorialize Senator Kennedy and keep his legacy alive.”Okay Lori, I'll bite. How, pray tell, does half naming the airport after Ted keep alive a legacy of working for Big Labor, Big Government, and Bad Education?
“It’s a tribute and honor to Ted Kennedy’s decades of public service,” Ehrlich said today in an interview, coincidentally, from Logan as she waited with her daughter to catch a flight to Cleveland. “Ted Kennedy made himself a welcoming light and extended a welcome to those who traveled here. It’s a symbolic gesture, but one I feel that he deserves.”Why not rename the Dyke Bridge on Chappaquiddick for him?
“We all know he loved to sail and he loved the water, but … there’s something central and profound about the image of the air – daring, dreaming, taking flight,” she added.We all might be wanting to take flight if liberals are in control of the country much longer.
