This is a story about a hypocritical politician. This politician is a republican.
That’s it.
No matter what of your own hangups and prejudices you want to project on to things, that’s it. No amount of ‘what about Teddy Kennedy*’ will change that, and no one but you thinks of this as an ‘example of inherent democratic superiority’.
*PS Not the poster boy around these parts if you haven’t noticed.
