With all due respect, Teddy should have retired once his condition became apparent instead of trying to continue to be a power broker. These episodes will only increase in frequency, my neighbor has the same affliction…
Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) was striken just witnessing the episode!
I pray for God to grace him and his family at this time, but still suggest that he retire from the Senate…
No fan of Ted Kennedy here, but my mother had the same type of brain tumor that Kennedy’s got, and I can tell you from watching her disappear for 15 months that this way of going is ugly, ugly, ugly. I’d wish it on the bin Ladens of the world, but that’s about it. The only thing merciful about it is that it is usually quick. Not surprising that his old friend Bobby Byrd was upset at seeing what he saw.
There’s plenty to be appalled about when it comes to the wretched excesses of President HopeyChangey’s coronation weekend, without spending time on this story. Just MHO.
Bob, an excellent point. If his condition is progressing consistently with what I’ve seen, the likelihood that he can form and maintain a coherent thought at this point is pretty slim.
Then again — it is the Senate. It’s not like thought (coherent or otherwise) is a critical part of the job description.
Not a big fan of the senator, but I wish him a peaceful finish. I met him once briefly, when I lived in Nantucket Island. I went to my boss’s house to fix some lights and he was sitting in the living room, exchanged hellos as I passed through. I think that was the same year I hello’d to Jackie O as she squeezed past me in the doorway of an ice cream shop where I was installing an alarm system. I did notice that people there valued the connection w/the family for dealing with problems of the lost social security check or fouled up federal paperwork type. They’d know someone in Hyannis who knew someone who could get things done. The “all politics is local ” idea, builds up a lot of support over the years.
Shit slinging monkeys had better watch what they sling. To wish someone into the pits of hell , even thoes that appear to deserve it , will surely reserve a spot along side of them. To wish only the best on people is truely tempting but you lower yourself down to there level if you truely do it in ernest and not in jest.
I mean, how can you not love faux moral outrage, sprinkled with a dollop of self left-eous preening, and a heaping serving of ignorance, all in one beautifully inarticulate typo-laden comment?
PAT’s trooling for monkeys here because she heard this blog sucks monkey balls and she wants in on that action. Or she wants to scope out the competition.
Former Vice President Walter Mondale was also sitting at the table with Kennedy and Byrd.
“Everyone was shaken,” said Mondale. “We were all having a good time. Telling war stories.”
SEN. KENNEDY: “Let me tell you about that time I kept Bork off the Court..’Robert Bork’s America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens’ doors in midnight raids, children could not be taught about evolution.’
No not racist in any way. One of my best friends for 31 years is as he put it brown and as he discribed me as more pink then white. A very good man with a great family. Yo JD. and all the rest of you great apes. My grammer and spelling may not be the best and I don’t realy know allot about computers and how to find a spell check or grammer check but I am serious and mean whatever I post. If being able to spell or be correct with grammer means more then the content of a message , then you are truely short sighted. And I thought apes had good vision. Shit slinging monkeys are only fun for a short while. I have been reading your extream far right (for the most part) dung off and on for quite some time and like your selfs have my opinions that I voice at times, and if you don’t agree with them I don’t realy give a fist full of monkey shit. It appears that to disagree with your opinion is to be a target for the afor mentioned ape crap. Hence the term shit slinging monkeys. I could easily use harsher terms such as the ones slung at me but I think mine fits the bill quite nicely thank you. I will be back. Thanks and have a great day.
What would you know about balls? Being a douche nozzle and all. Yo Donald I will at least admit that I don’t know everything so inlighten me. What is a ward heeler anyway? Or do you even know? I think all you rePUBLICans toss the same shit because it makes you sound smarter and it’s a way of dealing with subjects you don’t have any idea from which you speak. Damn you monkeys are a scream.
Sorry to hear it.
Too bad. The chap’s circling the drain it appears.
Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment.
Probably couldn’t handle being upstaged by a black man.
Speaking of which, has anybody checked on the Kleagle?

After all, he needs to make room for his niece…
Hope he is well. Hope he is not driving.

OK, I’m done.
As God is my witness, I didn’t realize they’d wheeled the Kleagle out of the room, too.
That’s just too rich!
That is too rich! The old racist never thought he’d see the day…

In sickness, politics takes a back seat. God bless Ted Kennedy and comfort him and his family.
Agreed, Jeffersonian, though I’m scummy enough to add that I think that about clinches it for Princess Caroline.
Are Democrats born with tin ears?
But to have thoughts that scummy, you’d have to wager that the Governor of NY’s thinking is even scummier. Not exactly a longshot.
I wish him well.
They should have had a St. Bernard on hand.
Barney Frank wasn’t present?
I pray Ted Kennedy dies roaring, and I pray he ends up in the pit of hell.
He killed one innocent woman we know of, and he never had the good grace to acknowledge anyone who did him good.
Burn in hell, prick.
Jeezus H. Christ! The Ku Klux Kracker is still alive?!?!?!!!! And still lording it over blacks?
Oh. He’s a Democrat, right? Sorry ’bout that.
Only a Democrat, I swear.
Still, he’ll soon be in Hell, with Ted and Adolf, et al.
I’m sure Satan’s parties by the River Styx will be something to behold.
I’m with Patrick. I hope he goes in agonizing, writhing pain. He’s earned every bit of it.
Patrick – “The Ku Klux Kracker is still alive?!?!?!!!!”
He is, as the Obama administration might put it, “shovel-ready”.
Now, now, be gracious.

Woops screwed that up . I ment to wish only the worst on people. Sorry !
That’s alright, I’ll put my karma up against that shit head murdering ward heeler any day.
A word from Donald. Said like a true shit slinging monkey. Yo Donnie just wondering. What is a ward heeler anyway?
Oh, Christ.
PAT KELLEY again.
Buh-bye, PAT.
I LOVE PAT KELLEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does PAT KELLEY have a point? I’m having trouble figguring out the 3rd sentence of #22.
I mean, how can you not love faux moral outrage, sprinkled with a dollop of self left-eous preening, and a heaping serving of ignorance, all in one beautifully inarticulate typo-laden comment?
Google and the shift key are your friends, PAT!
Just out trooling for monkeys.
YOU FUCKIN’ RACIST MONKEYBOY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is trooling anything like drooling? If so, colored me shocked.
PAT’s trooling for monkeys here because she heard this blog sucks monkey balls and she wants in on that action. Or she wants to scope out the competition.
Or something.
Who doesn’t know what a ward heeler is?

SEN BYRD: I’ll drink to that!
DODD’s WIFE: You’re all wet!
SEN KENNEDY: Arakkkkk..
