If you say it was worth it....

From Best of the Web, WSJ by James Taranto
...Meanwhile, Melissa Lafsky, "ex-lawyer, blogger, writer," has a much-discussed Puffington Host post titled "The Footnote Speaks: What Would Mary Jo Kopechne Have Thought of Ted's Career?" The headline is misleading; Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment. But Lafsky offers the following speculation:
We don't know how much Kennedy was affected by her death, or what she'd have thought about arguably being a catalyst for the most successful Senate career in history. What we don't know, as always, could fill a Metrodome.
Still, ignorance doesn't preclude a right to wonder. So it doesn't automatically make someone (aka, me) a Limbaugh-loving, aerial-wolf-hunting NRA troll for asking what Mary Jo Kopechne would have had to say about Ted's death, and what she'd have thought of the life and career that are being (rightfully) heralded.
Who knows--maybe she'd feel it was worth it.
One does get the sense that a certain type of liberal regards women as expendable.
