Why did it never occur to me that Ted Kennedy could die?Follow

Maybe I thought that Kennedys only died of crazy things like assasinations or plane crashes. I'm surprisingly...I'm not sure, disturbed, that Ted Kennedy has a brain tumor. I know he's old and everything, but that just makes him more of a fixture. hrmph.

I'm just amazed that it's not going to be liver failure that gets him, apparently.

The Japanese already have rights to Kennedy's liver for an elaborate fois gras concoction.

It's thought of and been hoped for by every other American.
Maybe you have a brain tumor too?

The thought of Uncle Teddy dying makes me physically ill.

He's probably good for a few more years, though.

That's what makes assassination or death by pilot error more appealing, though.

A brain tumor is a bad, prolonged death. Bummer all around.

Meh. Put a wooden stake through the heart of that old lushy vampire. Once the Kennedy clan is finally laid to rest maybe then we can move on from this pathetic wistfulness about "Camelot" and what could have been.

What I found surprising was Hillary's reaction. She actually had some decent things to say about the old geezer instead of saying, "I hope you burn in Hell!" after stabbing her in the back with his Barry Hussein support.

Maybe the tumor will grow in such a way as to make him a super human genius who can suddenly learn languages overnight and sense the coming of natural disasters.

You know the US secretly wants Wealthy Boston Irish Catholics to run everything.

I hope the tumor turns out to be an absorbed twin. Not the tooth and hair, mummy-in-a-tumor kind of twin, but the kind that will now gestate for nine months and emerge from Ted's ear in an afterbirth of gin.

I'd vote for him.

Heh, you know, BT, I could get onboard with something like that. Would the parasitic ingrown baby eventually run for higher office though?

It'd have to, I'd think.

I wonder if Bobby's kid will run for the seat. He could get Ugo Chavez to campaign for him, I'd think. That would go a long was in Massachusetts.

If the tumor ran against Hellary and Rastus O'Bama, McCain would be out of the running.

Sobbing head down on his desk, lamenting his dead wife and telling her he misses her and that he's praying for Kennedy, then just abject wailing until his aides stepped in.

I'm encouraged by him. The Congress needs more people who feel passionately about these things representing us.

I think it's more that he's been arguing with the grim reaper to go after "that whippersnapper" McCain and not making much progress. Nothing makes people aware of their own mortality like their peers suffering illnesses or dying.

If Byrd wasn't aware of his mortality at his age, he just hasn't been paying attention.
