[Ted] Kennedy 'very ill' ... A Kennedy update
Chicago Sun Times ^ | September 19, 2008 | Michael Sneed

Posted on 09/20/2008 7:11:28 AM PDT by Zakeet

Sneed hears the health of U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy, whose bravura in the face of a cancerous brain tumor resulted in a surprise appearance and speech at the Democratic National Convention, is sadly going downhill.

• • Backshot: "He gave every ounce of courage to attend that convention, where an attack of kidney stones caused him to be delivered by ambulance," said a source.

• • Update: "And although he still goes sailing every day at 2 p.m., he is getting weaker and weaker. He's a very ill man. It's been said he could have three weeks, three months or three years . . . but I wouldn't bet three years."

I hope he stays alive so that every day of misery he has he sees Mary Jo’s face. ANd hopefully that will make him do the right thing of going before the full senate and admit he’s a murderer and ask God and Mary Jo’s family for forgiveness.

Most people with those types of brain tumors only last around six months. When was he diagnosed?

Any chance a liberal Republican could take his seat?

This is very sad. A good friend who had this disease tried to stay very active to the very end. When the end came, it was fairly quick.

Never liked the man or his politics, but nobody deserves what he is going through.

Please shuffle off before the dems can use whatever sympathy you elicit to push through some comprehensive immigration, education, or deification bill.

"And although he still goes sailing every day at 2 p.m.

Sailing for Ted, copulating with a different woman for Castro... the daily grind of these brave party leaders is sacred testimony to their unceasing struggles on behalf of the people.

Prayers... Sad for anyone to go through.

But I’ll say what everyone is thinking... Kennedy Effect!

I hope he last past the election. Otherwise, his funeral would make the Wellstone memorial look like a slumber party. The media would also have wall to wall pieces on Camelot, how cool Democrats are yada-yada. No oxygen left for McCain and Palin to insert their messages.

Will the media eulogize him the same way they did Nixon?

......He gave every ounce of courage to attend that convention,.......

Actually he came because he is a Prima Donna who thinks he is indispensable.

No prayers from me. he is not a friend of America
