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."

There may even be some good news here.
The little zer0 may get one less vote.
Doubt he’ll be meeting up with her in the hereafter.
I suppose they will have a state funeral for him. Weeping senators..reminding us that their friends in the senate are more important than their subjects. Spare us.
I don’t wish the man to suffer, but he has not been the light of my life. I have suffered his legislation and lectures. We will be better off with him out of the Senate and out of public life. We can only hope that his replacement will be of higher character, but there isn’t much chance of that.
It will amount to a free campaign ad for Obama.
I’m not surprised. To my knowledge, his condition is terminal.
I was amazed how good he looked at the DNC though.
Ted Kennedy has done more to destroy this country’s foundation than maybe any other politician outside of FDR. That being said, I hope he is straight with God and God is merciful on his soul.
I think I’ll plan to be out of the house, away from FR and the TV for the day........I am not a hypocrite and I am a Christian......I have my limits.
Will they have a Wellstone type funeral? If so, Biden would be good for a few gaffes.
"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.And Mary Jo is still dead.
Pride has been a lot of folks ticket to hell . . . including satan’s.
Where was his courage when Mary Jo Kopeckne was drowning?
“Nobody?” Maybe, but he comes close. When he finally does go I hope somebody pokes him with a sharp stick to make sure he’s really dead.
Don’t like his family. Don’t like his politics and I damned sure don’t like him!
Dear Lord Jesus,
Your will be done on earth as well as heaven. We pray comfort for his family.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Agreed. I can only say that I hope Kennedy gets right with God. If he is getting weak, he is on his last leg. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear he dies within the next couple of weeks, if that long.
“How many more times do we have to say kind things about uncle Teddy?”
Well, the mods may zot my remarks but I’ll be damned if I’ll ever say anything nice about that SOB.
"Stand up, Ted!"
For his sake, I hope he makes a thorough general confession while he is still lucid.
“I hope he last past the election. Otherwise, his funeral would make the Wellstone memorial look like a slumber party.”
Agreed. When he goes, it’s going to be Princess Di or Mother Theresa. What a circus.
