The U.S. Senator from Massachusetts succumbed to brain cancer at the age of 77 tonight. Put aside your ideological differences for an appropriate moment and mark this passing with solemnity.

There is a time and place for political analysis and criticism. Not now.

Very next sentence:

Yes, there will be a nauseating excess of MSM hagiographies and lionizations — and crass calls to pass the health care takeover to memorialize his death.

For those of you keeping track at home, that would be a simultaneous shot at the mainstream media and health care reform, less than two hours after Kennedy was pronounced dead and one sentence after, “There is a time and place for political analysis and criticism. Not now.”

So classy.
