The Pope of Beacon Hill

From the lofty perch of the New York Times, columnist David Brooks peers down and explains the importance of the Ted Kennedy endorsement of Barack Obama:

The Kennedy endorsements will help among working-class Democrats, Catholics and the millions of Americans who have followed Caroline's path to maturity.

Some sharp analysis there. It's true, that Ted Kennedy is a real Catholic leader. Other than the serial drunkenness, philandering, the "reckless driving," his divorce, his tireless activism for abortion, gay marriage , and embryonic stem cell research, the guy is practically the Pope. If Obama could only get the endorsement of Catholic leader Rick Majerus I think the papist vote would be locked down for good.
