While I'm not one to wish anyone ill, I can't deny that the state I live in would benefit from the lack of Kennedy representation, and since Fat Teddy appears to be dertermined to hold onto his position to the death, I can't help but cheer this latest development.. He clearly has brain damage and should not be allowed to vote on issues going forward, but it seems some are so infatuated with him that they'll let him vote... A man with brain cancer voting on American issues... great!
I don't wish Ted Kennedy dead, I just wish that he'd get out of politics and let Americans run the joint.... Enough socialism already!
Kennedy taken to hospital

Senator Edward M. Kennedy has returned home and is getting ready to watch the debate, the Associated Press is reporting, just hours after being rushed to Cape Cod Hospital after suffering a seizure.
Kennedy's representatives said tonight that the seizure was mild, and that doctors believe it was triggered by a change in medication.
Safety officials received an emergency call from the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port at 5:12 p.m., said Barnstable police Sgt. Ben Baxter. He said Kennedy was alert and conscious when crews arrived.
Kennedy, 76, has been more visible recently after undergoing six weeks of chemotherapy and radiation treatment. On Tuesday, he received a visit and a civilian award from Chilean President Michellle Bachelet, for his support of the country during turmoil in 1973 and his work to cut off military aid to dictator Augusto Pinochet.
He made a grand, poignant public appearance last month at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.
Kennedy also made a surprise return to Capitol Hill in July to vote on a Medicare bill. In early September, Kennedy announced he would not return to the Senate until January, but has since held videoconferences with his staff and members of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, which he chairs.
Kennedy was diagnosed with having a brain tumor in May after a seizure at his home.
