(CBS/AP)2003 In one of the most pointed Democratic denunciations of the war in Iraq yet, Sen. Edward Kennedy on Thursday called the Bush administration’s case for going to war a fraud “made up in Texas” to give Republicans a political boost.
Where’d ya hear that?
MA likes Ted Kennedy. The rest of the country? Not so much.
The average American wouldn't get a pass if some chick dies in their car and they leave the scene of the accident.
I do hope he recovers. He is the best example of dems being able to get away with anything that we have in the Senate.
Excellent point! I’m still praying for Our Fearless Leader Jim.
God Bless Jim.
We are blessed that God gave us Jim!
no comment
with the intubation chances are he has a bleed - would not be a situation for tPA anyway. I hope he recovers fully and has a long retirement, but what we know so far doesn’t look good
I hope he's doing well.
My mother had one last year. Her brain was gone when they found her. It took 2 weeks for her body to give up. It was terrible.
Prayers for his family.
What is wrong with you?
For shame.
What does that mean? That he can’t breathe on his own? Is that consistent with a stroke? Prayers for the Senator.
his senate salary is nothin compared to old joe kennedy's money that has really kept all the kennedys comfortable for years
Boston Globe said his family was summoned to Boston to be with him. It has made the Boston Herald now
“Family, friends and colleagues were closed-mouthed this morning as word of the ailment made its way through political and media circles.”

To avoid suspension, I will not say what is on my mind.
Absolutely agree
Best wishes for his recovery. May God comfort him and his family.
Some things aren’t about Politics. He is a human soul. We may not like him, but we should respect his humanity and wish him a speedy recovery.
Without a doubt, the death of Ted Kennedy would benefit Obama. There would be much made of the fact that Ted was working hard for Obama right up until his last breath. More comparisons will be made to JFK.
IT would either mean he cannot breathe on his own or his mental status is so bad he cannot protect his own airway.
The other thing it could mean is bleeding on the brain, the patient is often intubated and hyperventilated to reduce swelling on the brain. Either way it is not good if he is indeed intubated, looks that way in the picture.
I remember how bad off his Dad, Joe Kennedy, was after his stroke. Looks like strokes run in the family.
