HuffPo: Maybe Mary Jo Would Have Been Happy To Die For Ted Kennedy

Chris Jones — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 18:44:04 +0000

Some of these hardcore libs are really sick puppies:

We don’t know how much Kennedy was affected by her death, or what she’d have thought about arguably being a catalyst for the most successful Senate career in history. What we don’t know, as always, could fill a Metrodome.

Still, ignorance doesn’t preclude a right to wonder. So it doesn’t automatically make someone (aka, me) a Limbaugh-loving, aerial-wolf-hunting NRA troll for asking what Mary Jo Kopechne would have had to say about Ted’s death, and what she’d have thought of the life and career that are being (rightfully) heralded.

Who knows — maybe she’d feel it was worth it.

I don’t even know what to say to that. To even suggest that Mary Jo might feel drowning in the back of Ted Kennedy’s car was worth it is beyond the pale. Although, to be fair, most of what comes from The Huffington Post is beyond the pale.

Ted Kennedy Has Died

From the AP:

Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the liberal lion of the Senate, has died after battling a brain tumor. He was 77.

Kennedy’s family announced his death in a brief statement released early Wednesday.

…Kennedy was elected to the Senate in 1962, when his brother John was president, and served longer than all but two senators in history.

Even though I disagreed with pretty much everything Sen. Kennedy stood for politically, I am sad to see him go. His family will be in my prayers.

It’s good to see Sen. Kennedy back on his feet.

Ted Kennedy Brain Surgery Successful

The media is reporting that Sen. Ted Kennedy’s brain surgery to remove a cancerous tumor has been successful.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy underwent what his doctors called successful surgery Monday to treat his cancerous brain tumor, and told his wife shortly after that he felt “like a million bucks,” a family spokeswoman said.

The surgery at Duke University Medical Center took about 3 1/2 hours. He is expected to undergo chemotherapy and radiation in coming weeks, and will remain at the North Carolina facility for about a week.

That is wonderful news and we hope Sen. Kennedy makes a speedy recovery.

God Bless Senator Kennedy

The Hot Joints would like Senator Ted Kennedy to know that he and his family are in our prayers.

Regardless of our politics, Ted Kennedy has been a loyal public servant and one of the most effective Senators in the history of our country.

Kennedy has always been a liberal Democrat and never pretended to be anything else. We may not agree with him, but we always know where he stands.

Unlike many of the left-wing kooks that now dominate the Democratic party, Ted Kennedy has always been willing to negotiate and compromise to get things accomplished.

As wrong as his policies are, we hope he’ll be back to arguing them as forcefully as ever very soon.

Ted Kennedy Diagnosed With Malignant Brain Tumor

Chris Jones — Tue, 20 May 2008 17:31:02 +0000

From the AP:

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy has a malignant brain tumor. Doctors for the Massachusetts Democrat say tests conducted after Kennedy suffered a seizure this weekend show a tumor in his 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.

The 76-year-old senator has been hospitalized in Boston since Saturday, when he was airlifted from Cape Cod after a seizure at his home.

His wife and children have been with him each day but have made no public statements.

His doctors said in a statement released to The Associated Press that he has had no further seizures, is in good spirits and is resting comfortably.

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.

Average survival can range from less than a year for very advanced and aggressive types — such as glioblastomas — or to about five years for different types that are slower growing.
