I would doubt it. He would have had a study called an MRA of the brain prior to his carotid artery surgery. While not specifically looking for brain tumors, one would likely show up on the study.

Disgusting!

Certainly. But I wouldn’t classify it as far more serious than a stroke. Wouldn’t want either one.

[Sal]

All too true.

Dear Lord,

Please make Senator Kennedy the recipient of Your infinite wisdom and justice.

Amen.

[BlessedBeGod]

Get a grip. You're embarrassing yourself.

[Liberty Valance]

LOL!!!

May God bless & comfort the Senator and his family.

For 2 reasons. THe first is airway protection to prevent aspiration. The second is that the seizure is treated with large doses of benzodiazepines (tranquilizers) and can depress respiration.

Also intubation might be done prior to transport in the helicopter as a preventive measure.

Many realize that respect and courtesy demand fair play - we don’t kick a man when he is down.

Of course, many can’t wait to release hate and vengefulness at any opportunity. But, do they really think people enjoy reading trash talk? If people are unable to act in adult manner understanding the consequences of their words - a moderator is necessary if you want a worthwhile site that people with intelligence will visit.

No really intelligent person is going to go to a place known as a garbage site. They will go to a respected site to see what other intelligent thinkers are saying.

Trash, hateful talk is really ignored by any that are the movers and shakers.

Why let teenage talk taint our political site? I care more about FR and the sacrifices and work of Jim than to try and destroy his reputation and his work.

I was making light of the PITA comment by referencing the freak show known as PETA. Adding some humor to a thread like this can’t hurt.

I also don’t want him to suffer....he’s going to have enough to answer to God for, in the end.

It's going to be more than his end that answers for it, but today we pray that he will make a complete recovery, after all:

Were it not for Ted Kennedy challenging Jimmy Carter for the 'Rat nomination in 1980, Ronald Reagan might have had a tougher challenge to send the Buffoon from Georgia into retirement. ;)

We owe Teddy THAT much thanks anyway! :)

>>>Where is the Christian compassion?

My compassion for TK is in the same place the DU & Kos-kiddes compassion was for Jerry Fallwell.

Well its just strange for Drudge not to have this up. Not trying to say anything.

OMG!!! That this mean...? Could it be...?

I mean, has anyone ever seen Matt Drudge and Senator Kennedy in the same room?

I’d like to take this opportunity to inform those who are yowling about censorship that YouTube has a more hands-off policy regarding childish antics. Just find a video of Ted there if you must. :)

Congratulations on plunging to their level.

Good. A couple days in the ICU is about the boringest time there is.

[glock rocks]

Go Stars! Score!

Oh, and get well so you have time to repent, Senator.
