Senator Ted Kennedy diagnosed with a brain tumor

Massachusetts Senator and Democratic legend Ted Kennedy was hospitalized over the weekend after having seizures, and the news just got worse- he has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.

Despite the criticism of his personal life, Ted Kennedy is one of my all-time favorite politicians and someone I admire and respect as a true liberal. Best wishes to him for a complete and rapid recovery.

it's not about class but reality. it's a fatal brain tumor. it's treatable but not curable. the doctors have given him a year to live.

Yeah, the odds aren't in his favor, but statistics don't predict the outcome for an individual case.

I still think the original comment was sort of rude to leave anonymously on someone's blog, but I didn't find it offensive enough to warrant deletion.
