Ted is a celebrity, so many in America relate on some level to him and may feel something regarding his situation.
I wish Mr. Kennedy a speedy recovery or if not to be a painless end.
As far as Byrd is concerned, well he’s probably served with Kennedy some 30 years.
They have history together for sure.
Frankly I’m much more upset that Will Elder died of cancer last week. He was a great American satirist and a wonderful painter and illustrator. Little Annie Fanny may be the most widely seen of his work but his earlier collaborations at Mad with Harvery Kurtzman (his writer on Fanny) helped fuel the whole underground comics movement.
Someone told me that this is because Ted had a long political career. So did Fidel Castro. Should I expect similar praise?
