Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., who is battling a brain tumor, was taken away from the congressional luncheon in convulsions.

Kennedy was at a table with Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., Vice President Mondale and Mrs. Mondale, and others. While at the table, Kennedy began having seizures that lasted for several minutes.

You mean the non-stop Obama worship made him ill too? Oh right. The Libs will enjoy the poetry of Teddy swimming off to that great big lake of Scotch in the sky just as Obama is elected and his bubble-head niece is installed in the Senate.

I don’t like Teddy at all but I hope he goes peacefully and I pray for his soul.

“Kennedy was at a table with Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., Vice President Mondale”

He was probably just bored to distraction...

When W choked on a pretzel popular opinion declared it was really funny that it happened and really sad he didn't die.

When the left says shush the right listens. Let's be civilized as we are led to slaughter. My heroes!
