He was battling a disease of the brain long before this.

Leftistism has ravaged him for a number of decades.

Hanoi Jane and he were bussom buddies, married...

Well to do people aren’t necessarily smart.

I have a close family member who has dementia.

About a decade ago I tried to take some video of them telling some of their life experiences for posterity.

They couldn’t remember a single thing from their life.

I wouldn’t wish this on Ted, but he may be heading for that eventuality.

he’s coping with a brain disease known as Lewy body dementia.

Christianity is a "religion for losers"

Ted Turner

Christ should not have bothered dying on the cross. "I don't want anybody to die for me. I've had a few drinks and a few girlfriends, and if that is going to put me in hell, then so be it."

Ted Turner

The ten commandments are "out of date" and should be replaced with the Ten Voluntary Iniatives.

Ted Turner

Not many people know this about Ted,
but he is, or was, one of the finest sailors in the world.
A true, consummate yachtsman,
brilliant tactician and helmsman,
and always on the forefront of monohull design and technology.
Not everything is about politics.
Marrying a knucklehead is something a LOT of men have done.

But even after they divorced, he was still a knucklehead.

The disease may not kill you per se, but the complications certainly do. Casey Kasem was diagnosed in 2013, originally with Parkinson’s disease, but that was later changed to Lewy’s. He was dead a year later. His passing touched off a war between Kasem’s children (from his first marriage) and his second wife, Jean, best known for her appearances on “Cheers.”

While Casey reportedly wanted to be buried in Glendale, CA, his wife eventually had him interred in Oslo, Norway, where his body remains to this day. Kasem reportedly left an estate valued at $80 million, divided 50/50 between the three children from his first marriage and his second wife. As of earlier this year, both sides were still haggling over his fortune, with Jean attempting to gain greater control over his older children’s share of the estate.

Wonder how much the lawyers have already pulled out of the estate for legal fees? Probate nightmare, but a windfall for the attorneys.

Mr. Turner better hope his estate planning is better than what Casey Kasem left behind, and by all accounts, he did what his attorneys and estate planners advised him to do. Unfortunately, hell hath no fury like a has-been actress who wants the whole pie for herself.

BTW, Kasem’s cause of death was sepsis from a badly infected bedsore. I’ve had family members in nursing homes and bedsores are a huge problem; coupled that with failing body systems and its easy for them to become infected, especially if the patient isn’t turned frequently and carefully monitored. Doesn’t sound like Mr. Kasem was receiving the best of care at the end of his life.

Many demonrats have brain disease.

Jane Fonda ruined this man...............

There was nothing there to ruin. Turner sold his soul a long time ago.

I actually interviewed him for an article in 2015, after he bought an historic spa in the town of Truth or Consequences N.M. We had to submit questions for approval. I did get him off point by bringing up our common Tennessee roots.
