Doctors for the Massachusetts Democrat said Tuesday that preliminary biopsy results showed a malignant glioma in the left parietal-lobe. It was detected after Kennedy, 76, was airlifted to Boston on Saturday after having a seizure at his Cape Cod home.

The usual course of treatment includes combinations of radiation and chemotherapy, but Kennedy's treatment will be decided after more tests.

"He has had no further seizures, remains in good overall condition and is up and walking around the hospital," said a joint statement issued by Dr. Lee Schwamm, vice chairman of the Department of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Dr. Larry Ronan, Kennedy's primary care physician.

Kennedy's wife and children have been with him each day since he was hospitalized but have made no public statements.

Malignant gliomas are a type of brain cancer diagnosed in about 9,000 Americans a year — and the most common type among adults. It's a starting diagnosis: How well patients fare depends on what specific tumor type is determined by further testing.

On his "Straight Talk Express" bus, presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain expressed his concern for the Massachusetts legislator.

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and to him," said McCain.

"I have described Ted Kennedy as the last lion in the Senate. And I have held that view because he remains the single most effective member of the Senate."

According to the hospital statement, Kennedy "will remain at Massachusetts General Hospital for the next couple of days according to routine protocol. He remains in good spirits and full of energy."

He's a murderer so nobody cares except the brain deads in the East who vote for him any one in his family no matter how incompetent they are.

I'm only here looking for the political comedy thread.

I enjoyed hearing O'Bama addressing a group about Memorial Day but describing Veteran's Day in every detail including all those in the audience who we are honoring on Memorial Day.

That's funny.

OK, Back to your talk of scumbags.

Go fuck yourself Dickhead Holmes. I figured it would only be a matter of time until one of you turned ugly on Sen. Kennedy and sincerely hope when this confronts your family that we can all make fun of you.

Listen up bitch, she had an air pocket that kept her alive long enough for him to pass out, wake up, and ask someone to call for help.

He didn't do that. He's a murderer. You're an idiot.

"Borders, Language, Culture" is what matters quoting from my neighbor Dr. Michael Savage

I agree with him. You think Kennedys are God, they are scum, from Joe to John John. It's reality, deal with it.

Me and You and a Dog named Boo travelin' and livin' off the Land....

Do You Want Me To Sing More ?

... How I love bein', A Free Man.

How bout kicking this total stone asshole off this list.

He is a human being, people care no matter what their affiliation. We all know what happened 40 years ago. It was tragic just like John Jrs plane going down and both assasinations. Lives were lost.

When I first posted that article it was because the news was just shocking. Afterward I realized that maybe it was a bad idea. Someone in our little dysfunctional group is dealing with a loved one who is battling this very same thing, its a little too personal to debate.

Please stop.

Let me guess.

"Mistakes were made"

Scum, total scum.

Should we have not flown because we had no visibility and no instamentation.

Yes.

Were we too arrogant to use common sense.

Yes.

Did we believe our political life was more important than a human being dying under water.

Yes.

Is a father and son working within the Mafia and another son fighting them kinda odd.

I wonder.

Is it safe to play frisbee while skiing backwards ?
Never. That is why Kennedys deserve to die.
They are all smart, but they think they are much smarter, which makes them really dumb.

The only question is....

Why did Jack Kennedy have pretty women waiting in every town and no on cared while Bill Clinton who is 10 times more inteligent gets trashed for one un-attractive woman ?

Just one more step and somebody gets it...






I gotta add that I think little of Teddie as a politician and as a quality human, but taking delight in someone's terminal illness is something I don't get.

Yeah, that is exactly what I meant.

Maybe you want to shut off the computer for a while till your caffeine buzz eases off, or your looser underwear comes out of the dryer. You aren't being your usual entertaining self today.
