This is most likely the most sad thing that I have had to blog about, since I started back in February 2007. Senator Ted Kennedy is one of the "Godfathers" of the Democrat Party and the Democratic Senate.
The Article: Doctors say Sen. Kennedy has malignant brain tumor (Via AP/Yahoo! News)
A cancerous brain tumor caused the seizure Sen. Edward M. Kennedy suffered over the weekend, doctors said Tuesday in a grim diagnosis for one of American politics’ most enduring figures.
"He remains in good spirits and full of energy," the doctors for the 76-year-old Massachusetts Democrat said in a statement.
They said tests conducted after the seizure showed a tumor in Kennedy’s left parietal lobe. Preliminary results from a biopsy of the brain identified the cause of the seizure as a malignant glioma, they said.
His treatment will be decided after more tests but the usual course includes combinations of radiation and chemotherapy.
What can one say? For the most part, the Blogosphere has been civil about this, there are a few exceptions, I will not bother linking to the idiots, they’re not worth my time and worth a waste of my bandwidth.
It does seem that people are killing him off, I wish they would stop! Give the man a fighting chance! Let him fight this thing! A tumor is no longer a death sentence.
One thing that is pissing me off about this whole thing, is the idiots who keep bringing up Chappaquiddick, for God sakes people, that was 39 years ago. How immature, idiotic and ignorant can people be? The man was never indicted, at all. Anyone who dares to bring this up, is simply acting like a partisan jerk and political hack.
Politics is one thing, humanity is another, I and my very democrat family, wish Senator Kennedy all the best, and we pray for a speedy recovery.
Fight it, Ted, Fight like bloody hell and please, do not stop fighting!
Update: I know I said I wouldn’t do it, but this stuff needs to be exposed. Seems the ugliness of the Blogosphere has come out. Both on the Right and Left. I mean, can’t these blog owners control the comments on their Blogs any better than this? It’s absolutely sickening…
