    Can't chemo that.

    Gamma knife an proton beam therapy. Hope he gets a good excision, and it's a low grade.

    Otherwise a coma is not too far away in his future..

    A malignant brain tumor killed my grandpa. It's a terrible thing and I send positive thoughts and vibes toward the senator.

    hopefully they can operate or it's benign and not go through radiation.

    Best wishes to TK and his family.

    That's horrible. I hope he lives to see the changes in US health care politics he has been advocating for his whole life.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    My Dad passed on Dec 16th, 2007 from this very same tumor.This news brings that same feeling I got when my dad was diagnosed. This type of tumor is very serious(not that others aren't)

    I pray for Senator Kennedy and his family
    My dad was big on the Kennedy family

    Long fight? How long could he possibly have? Even without the tumor he was an old fuck and probably didn't have long to go anyway.

    I keep this picture on my desk. I have taken a lot of shit over the years for having it. But, name me another family that has sacrificed more for the USA than the Kennedy's ?

    When I was a little kid, I met Robert F. Kennedy and I will never forget that day. The current and following generations of this family will continue to have a positive effect on our nation. This is a sad time for many long time Democrats.

    My Father died of the same thing in 1979 when he was 49.

    Ted, we need you more than we know, and love you more than we admit.

    Get well & give 'em hell!

    Much love out to the Senator and the Kennedy clan.

    The Sullivan Family - it's just not as prominent.

    In all seriousness, it's sad to see this befall old Teddy - like him or not (and I like him), you have to respect a guy who has devoted an entire life to civil service. He's really the grand old man of the party - his loss will be tragic.

    But I imagine he still has some fight in him...

    I don't like the man or his politics, but completely agree with everything you've written here. I'm sad for him and for his family. I hope he fights the good fight and that he and his family find comfort in the time they have left together.

    Any additional rude posts about a seriously ill person, whether you agree with his politics or not, will result in a loss of privileges.

    How was it rude? I was showing the same compassion that he has showed to people in the past.

    I'm sure if it was George Bush it would be acceptable though. Funny how a band complains about censorship (AT&T) then has exactly that on their website.

    on edit: Do these rules only allow to people who don't agree with the norm here? I see people call each other names, f-bombs galore, and all of that seems to be ok. I've sent PM's to admins here asking that question but never is there a reply.

    Hypocrisy at its finest.

    Simple manners are required on this and any similar situation NO MATTER WHAT POLITICAL SIDE YOU ARE ON . The illness has nothing to do with politics.

    Report any problem posts to us and we'll take care of them.

    Ted Kennedy has done more for this country than anyone else in the Senate. He shows up, he creates legislation and is actively involved in passing legislation that benefits ordinary Americans. He has demonstrated how deeply he cares about this nation and its people. And he has been doing so for 40 years.

    Agreeing with him politically has nothing to do with it. People from both sides of the aisle love and respect him, and believe it or not, they also are aware of that one dark mark in his history. They know that he is a human being, like them, not above error or fault. And so does he. I believe that most people who have the ability to see the big picture agree that his life in public service has gone far toward atoning for that terrible tragedy.

    And to quote another pretty great guy, "May he that is without sin throw the first stone," or something to that effect. :)

    Get well, Ted.

    Politics aside, they had nothing to do with my post, the Kennedy's have really never been accused to have good morals. That was my point with Ted. That black mark may have been prevented if he had done more to help.

    I don't wish death upon anyone other than Usama bin Laden. I do think karma has caught up with Ted though.

    The Kennedys being great is one of the biggest myths in American history.
