(May 20)Doctors say Senator Ted Kennedy has a malignant brain tumor. It was discovered after he suffered a seizure.On Saturday, Kennedy was flown from Cape Cod to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Doctors later determined he suffered a seizure. The length of the longtime Senator's stay raised questions by neurologists. One specialist said patients with similarly described symptoms are often released from the hospital in a matter of hours. Another neurologist said determining whether a patient had a seizure can take longer.No Kennedy family member has spoken publicly about the illness. Fellow Senators John Kerry and Chris Dodd described Kennedy's voice as strong and robust during phone calls over the weekend. A spokeswoman says Kennedy was not able to take a call from President Bush Monday morning. Statements have described Kennedy's visitors, and the movies and television he's watched, but there have been no photographs of him in the hospital. A request from the Associated Press was being considered. Kennedy underwent surgery last October on the left carotid artery in his neck after doctors discovered a near-complete blockage that left him with an elevated risk of a stroke.

Well this is what is called karma, this is what happens when you murder someone. Because you know what they say "only the good die young" and that is why he is still with us.

Ted has the luxury of knowing that he is going to die soon. He has time to repent for spending his adult life supporting homosexuality, abortion, and other issues that go against the Church and Bible. I am a Catholic and can tell you that any person who publically supports these issues isn't in line with the Church and shouldn't receive communion. They are simply Catholic in name only. The Kennedy's as well as Pelosi, John Kerry are all horrible examples of Catholics.

Disgusting pigs....why are these kinds of incredibly offensive comments allowed on this site? NIGGERS? You're still using that word? A prime example of what's wrong with our country are racist subhumans like this.

Now if Teddy, Nancy Pelosi, and Robert Byrd would just expire on the same day. THAT would be the Trifecta. JFK and RFK must be rolling in their graves over their traitorous, murderous, political whore of a brother.

Well, now that Teddy is terminal I wonder if he'll finally apologize for the Mary Jo Kopechni incident? Teddy got drunk, drove them into the river, and she drowned. There then followed a bizarre several days where it appeared Teddy was denying any involvement, etc. He has never come clean.I though maybe now he would come clean and apologize. But wait! He's a catholic and probably confessed to one of the Kennedy family priests long ago. Wiped the slate clean so to speak.

I agree with you on the open borders. You should see what that policy is doing to Phoenix! The streets are crawling with illegal Mexicans and many are here for crime. However, I really disagree you about Iraq.The only good thing to come of invading Iraq was getting the Republicans out of office - hopefully, for decades. Republican ruin the economy. Republican policies simply don't work!

If you see an Arab prince and if you are the president- don't kiss him!-custom or not! It looks bad especially when the Saudis did 9-11 based in Afghanistan! Also, if like Bush, your family gets millions of dollars from Saudi interests that are not reported as income, but is still theirs to use - kissing a Saudi prince is going "over the top." Just because the Bush family thrives on Saudi money and is on good terms with the Bin Ladin family,is no reason to kiss the guy ~- custom be damned!
