Sen Ted Kennedy has a brain tumor...

[Aratus]

this is a health topic... its also sorta political. they have
said what type of... and this explains the seizure! he's
on the mend, and yes, he may still be back in the senate!
talk is of radiation and chemotherapy. he's debating treatment.

[yongrel]

That's a shame. Brain tumors are an ugly thing.

C'est la vie.

[Aratus]

true... he's on day one of the rest of the days of his life...

[Aratus]

he also may retire gracefully if this was not caught in its early stages...

[Truth Warrior]

Ted, you want to reconsider your Obama endorsement now? You KNOW how those Clintons are. Or at least you should.

[Primbs]

Former George H.W. Bush advisor Lee Atwater died of a brain tumor.

Some think because he got sick, he was not able to stop Bush from the tax increase in 1990 which contributed to Bush's defeat to Clinton in 1992.

As Bush's most trusted political advisor, Atwater would have kept Bush from raising taxes after Bush said "Read my lips, no new taxes."

Condolences to his family.

OMG...that is shocking! Senator Kennedy has a brain :eek:?

Okay...not funny but I can not help not feeling sorry for people who have allowed themselves to become political puppets of the NWO. His is a rather sad story though because he did not turn willingly IMO. He has been a tortured man since they murdered JFK (and then RFK and JFK Jr.).

[Aratus]

the changes in the wings from this may be upon us gradually.
the senate is known for letting senators take absenses due to
health reasons. governor deval patrick does have the option
of letting ted's wife vicki step in as a senator. this would keep
his staffers employed in full before they perhaps find positions
with senator kerry. this all does imply in the next decade or less
there shall be a very junior senator for my state with an absolute
lack of seniority, though this does not say the party affiliation...
yes, senator ted, who was heard to sing "when irish eyes are smiling"
when recently happily campaigning, yes... his legacy is considerable.


senator obama had a sad look when he first heard the news about
the seizure. somehow, obama took it all more seriously than other
people did. today the word malignant was said. our irony is, even with
the very best health care at his fingertips, people can only guess as
to how it all goes from here on in. with obama, it looks like he's quietly
worrying about someone who is and was like a close relative, obama's
sadness was not self centered. there are days when obama looks like
he can feel totally alone and aloof in almost a woodrow wilson manner.


if barack obama wins the white house, oprah and teddy kennedy helped
make this possible. as it stands now, i'm still rivetted to the senate race
between john kerry and jim ogonowski. i did say ogonowski ran a close
house race last october as he came in behind by single digits to senator
tsongas's widow. ted kenndy has passed on a torch to a very junior senator.

[Aratus]

this all has hit senator byrd like a ton of bricks.
both he and teddy were close friends. he was
weaping on the senate floor. did teddy perhaps
give his own vigorish spin to byrd should now back
obama? has byrd in old age solidified the democrats
now behind barack obama? as the party comes together...

[Aratus]

i'm getting hours of coverage locally. rather than soap operas now...

[Aratus]

john mccain now has completed his statement to the media and is looking very shook up... and like the impression that
robert byrd had had about him, teddy kennedy evidently had actually looked very healthy to them both despite his years, recently.

[Aratus]

they are covering this like as if everyone is picking out dour dark colors next... senator ted may easily have
quite a few healthy months in him if not several years... this is anticipatory and borders on the coverage for reagan...

[Truth Warrior]

I got very sick, tired and bored by and of this generation of the Kennedy's, about 40 years ago. The new generation does not appear to be much of, or any improvement.

[Aratus]

teddy just left the hospital today... he's going sailing soon! seriously, i think he's headed back to the senate floor yet was indeed told what the tests said. he's no longer being covered around the clock on my local news...

this all has hit senator byrd like a ton of bricks.

You mean Senator Grand Wizard of the KKK Byrd?

LOL

I do not like Ted Kennedy, but I wish him well. I want him removed by an election, not death.
