barbara boxer fell into the trap when she said the people at the tea parties were well dressed. did you find that as revealing as i did? >> i did. this class warfare and denigration is a hallmark of the culture of corruption and the democrats in washington who have lost touch with populist movements. all they can do is try to redefine participatory democracy as some sort of threat to the democracy that we are trying to save. sean: one of the things that is emerging out of this is we're seeing how cowardly some of the politicians are, as they are now canceling -- they are free to have the town halls. they are doing telephone town there in person. barack obama, the hill report and i would assume groups like acorn, to go out there and try and flood these town halls. do you think that will be an effective strategy? will they not be able to pull it back, that politicians will fear willing to separate from him? flailing. there is an arkansas congressman who hid behind ill children. he rescheduled his congressional forum at the children's hospital to try and mitigate any participatory

senator boxer, you've lost a colleague and friend. what has the nation lost as a great legislator passes today? >> the nation has lost a legislator who really was the voice for the voiceless and for those who just didn't have the power to be heard. and that is really important, because we all know in america we do best when we listen. there aren't enough voices like ted's, and there's not one person who is able to bring that passion to bear. it's going to have to be all of us. i hope some on the other side as well of the aisle who will speak up when we know there are some folks not getting the attention that they deserve, whether they're disabled, veterans who are wounded, the poor, the children. it's really going to be a challenge for us. we have to step up. we have to do it. i think in his memory. >> the white house was saying yesterday that -- a colleague said when he first came to the senate as a freshman and ted kennedy brought him into the hide away tucked behind the senate press gallery and poured him a tumbler of scotch and in
