redbaron29 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 I wish nothing bad on anyone, but Ted Kennedy is anything BUT a poor guy. That being said I wish him the best.
SuperJerk Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 For some reason Ted Kennedy's niece's husband insisted its not a tumor on some channel I flipped past last night.
Skywarp! Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Didn't KKK used to wish a "visit from the cancer fairy" on Ted? Damn kid has the Reaper's touch.
Guest Smues Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 "I didn't let her drown, it was the brain tumor's fault!" ... Well someone had to say it.
Vampiro69 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Hopefully he can make a recovery from this but according to medical reports it doesn't look good.
Guest Desensitized Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 "I didn't let her drown, it was the brain tumor's fault!" ... Well someone had to say it. I wonder if America's best and brightest will still elect him to another Senate term or two after he's dead.
Mike wanna be Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 I would have gone with "Brain tumors float, what was he supposed to do?", personally.
Guest Desensitized Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Look, I know cancer sucks, but isn't it a mite disingenuous to frame this as ANOTHER HORRIBLE TRAGEDY FOR OUR BELOVED KENNEDYS? He had a good run, and now he's old and he's going to die. His brothers were assassinated, his sister was lobotomized, and Ted killed a woman but parlayed it into a successful career as a Democratic elder statesman. He escaped a tragic Kennedy death; this is just a mundane one. (Or is it a tragedy whenever some New England patrician with an overbite who made his fortune illegally eventually kicks it?)
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Man's in his 70's and lived like Keith Richards. This is hardly tragic.
Kinetic Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Furthermore, he's not even dead yet. I'm aware that the prognosis isn't good, but these news outlets should save the eulogizing for when the guy actually dies.
Big Ol' Smitty Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Probably the most important liberal/progressive Senator in American history. ...the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act, Medicare, Medicaid, Head Start, Legal Services, the War on Poverty, environmental legislation, OSHA, bringing down Richard Nixon on the Watergate investigations, ending the Vietnam War, stopping military aid to the Contras in Central America, the Martin Luther King holiday, stopping Robert Bork, the increases in the minimum wage, Family and Medical Leave, National Service, Motor Voter Act, S-CHIP. His fingerprints are on all of that legislation, and more. And even where he failed, on universal health care and labor law reform and stopping the Iraq war and other battles, he fought the good fight with passion and heart and courage... http://www.openleft.com/showDiary.do;jsess...3E?diaryId=5907
Dobbs 3K Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 Furthermore, he's not even dead yet. I'm aware that the prognosis isn't good, but these news outlets should save the eulogizing for when the guy actually dies. Yeah, you can tell the networks are all working on the retrospective video packages already.

Red Baron Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 Watch as Ted Kennedy lives for another six or seven years from now.
At Home Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 Didn't one of the Kennedy's die in a plane crash too? That was in the 90s or so.
snuffbox Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 JFK Jr. Teddy walks like a dinosaur because he survived a plane crash with a broken back in the 1960s.
SuperJerk Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 Teddy walks like a dinosaur because he survived a plane crash with a broken back in the 1960s. God's been unsuccessfully trying to kill Ted for years.
