Sen. Ted Kennedy, who has been undergoing treatment for a malignant brain tumor, was taken to a hospital near his Cape Cod vacation home after complaining of feeling ill Friday.
But his condition was not described as serious.
Sen. John Kerry, Kennedy's Massachusetts colleague, told FOX News the Democratic senator plans to return home to watch the presidential debate Friday night. Kerry said he spoke with Kennedy and that he was in good spirits.
Kennedy arrived at the Cape Cod hospital "conscious and alert," according to a source close to the situation.

I hope he has a speedy recovery and decides that it’s time to retire and enjoy time away from politics.

These episodes will probably escalate. Prayers for him and his family and God’s grace to deal with this challenge.

FoxNews reported he had a minor seizure. This confirms some of the comments of a poster on another thread.
This isn’t going to be pleasant for the family.

At his age and with his background, he has nothing left but politics. For him it is a cause, avocation, hobby … what us old folks do after we retire, he does for a living. ;-)

I can say with all civility that I hope Mr. Kennedy is using his limited remaining time on earth to get right with God; he’s certainly been given many opportunities to straighten up and fly right, and for all I know he may have done so, though his actions do not testify any such thing.

Please note: Master Kennedy does not have government run and financed health care. He did not go to Europe or Cuba for this hospital visit. Instead, he has the best health care money can buy.

I wanted the most formidable enemy we have faced in decades to die with honor, and not having his brain eaten away by a merciless cancer. Hoping for a miraculous recovery for Senator Kennedy so that we may kick his ass again in the Senate for a few more years. Besides ... Juan McCain will need all the friends he can get ...
