"I can't imagine anyone who's not to the left of Ted Kennedy liking him."

[eyesroll]

This was said on a professor ratings site about the professor I will have next semester. For Constitutional Law.

Should I be worried or pleased?

:shrug:

(The other reviews were an even mix of "he sucks, don't bother" and "you know, just because a few neocons think he's terrible doesn't mean he is, thumbs up.")

1. Depends, are you to the left of Ted Kennedy?

[eyesroll]

2. I'm not even sure anymore.

I suspect whoever posted that really meant "dude's a liberal and it shows in his class." Which, on one hand, is good -- I speak liberal and can speak so on an exam if I need to. But, on the other hand...if he's truly not objective, then it might be harder to actually listen to the material. (Especially if I see through his arguments. My specialty seems to be ripping apart poorly made arguments I agree with in principle.)
