I've always thought the man was a big fat gas bag and I couldn't disagree with him more politically, but I'd never wish this on anyone. I know there will be tough days ahead for him and his family. I wish them the best.

I'm not a big fan of the guy but that really sucks. I had an aunt who had surgery to remove a brain tumor a few years ago. Fortunately, hers was benign but it was still kinda scary, considering it's risky any time you operate on the brain.

From what I read, they are going to do chemo and radiation. Surgery may be too risky for him?

True, but like him or not, no one deserves a brain tumour. Some one much better qualified to judge than us ordinary men will handle Kennedy's guilt or innocence around Mary Jo.

You are the face of the modern day Republican party....sick...sick...sick.

Teddy is one of the few true liberals in the senate, and by that, I mean FDR-style liberal, none of these watered-down Reaganite DLC cocksuckers.

I was sorry to hear this...though I disagree on almost every point of politics with the man, he has been a public servant for a very long time and that in an of itself shows him to be a man of principals and dedication.

The whole Chappaquiddick incident is tragic and I agree with G&TS that he will be judged for that by a greater power than us.

I truly wish him the best.

Yeah some tumors simply can't be removed. Happened to my mom, she had breast cancer but also had a tumor in her brachial plexus (network of nerves) on the left side that could not be removed.

I didn't mean to imply that he deserves it. Just pointing out who he was/is.

You should have seen the libs react when it was announced that Tony Snow had cancer or when Ronald Reagan died. They are the most disgusting, hateful pieces of shit I have ever seen. Talk about losing your humanity! :roll:

RWF doesn't represent conservatives with that statement any more than some of your ridiculous behavior represents all leftists.

Yeah, the Randi Rhodes/Al Franken wing of the party. Pretty sick pieces of trash.

No need to wait for posthumous Bush slurs coming from me.
I wake up each morning to a fresh cup of folgers and wishing for the day that petroleum guzzling vampire finally goes to his great Hollywood backlot ranch in the sky.

Kennedy may have killed one person in a personal indiscretion, Bush has killed scores of thousands - and subverted all branches of government to do it.

I listened to Franken...pretty boring radio overall, but nothing he said compared to the vitriolic perversions spewed by Beck.

Kerry's "stuck in Iraq" comments DID come in the middle of a comedic anti-Bush monologue in front of college kids on behalf of a colleague.
Anyone who bothered to watch the speech knows this.

And if you took offense at any of the above, you are woefully uninformed.

Your ignorance is not offensive, TNC... just pathetically sad.
