Kennedy: Brain tumor
Cancerous, too:
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.
Glioma being described here.

Please oh wise one, tell me how what I said is any different than this?
Yeah nothing like taking things out of context to try and prove your point. Yeah i was saying the exact same thing you were saying. Saying how stupid it was.

Ok thats great, it was an accident. It happend 40 years ago, time to move on there Hope. Regardless of what you think of the mn, its a horrible thing to have happen. Even a man like GW, who in my mind is 1000 times worse than Ted Kennedy would get my sympathy for something like this. And i wouldn't preface my post with "well i really never liked the guy but". I guess your just not that big of a person.
QUOTE(tourman @ May 20 2008, 06:57 PM) [snapback]391740[/snapback] You got that right, Twinmom! I was just thinking the same thing before I read your post- here a prominent figure is diagnosed with what appears to be a terminal illness, and the personal Partisan crap begins immediately.
God forbid anything is mentioned without having to throw Bush under the bus without hesitation. I believe we are discussing Senator Kennedy and his misgivings, not the current President.
Seems to be the only defense.
A real shame..... whatever your personal politics, the man has an illness that will be an ordeal for him and his family both.
Nice post tour, yeah like you said, it shouldn't matter what party is is from, this "well i really dont' like him but i feel sorry for him" is just BS. And as far as people talking about President. We are talking about the hear and now, not what happened 40 years ago. He has made mistakes and he will pay for them on the other side. Funny how you seem to let stuff slide with your own party, but when its the other side, you can go back years and years and suddenly thats ok. This post was about his health right now, rather than posters simply expressing sympathy, they had to preface it with stupid comments. |

This is just plain sad. All these people making these disgusting comments about Senator Kennedy.
Don't tell me, let me guess: You consider yourself a Christian, right? You attend church on a regular basis, right? You even sit in the first pew, right?
Well, my grandmother used to call people like you, 'Front Row Hypocrites'
When your time is up, I imagine you'll be staying in a nice 'warm' location.
