Senator Edward (Ted) Kennedy Has a Brain Tumor
It was just announced on TV, and has only hit a few Internet papers, but Sen. Ted Kennedy has a cancerous brain tumor. Please pray for him, and his family.

The Kennedy family has been plagued by tragic deaths. He has been an outspoken, highly reverie, Democrat Senator for almost 50 years. He also ran for president in 1980.

Hi LadyBanana,
No, the Kennedys are still political royalty here. Teddy is the last of the famous 4 brothers.
The Kennedy's are the closest thing we have to royalty around here. It is sad, even sadders as he will know he is dying unlike his brothers who fortunately didn't feel a thing.

Yes, unfortunately it doesn't seem like he will have a quick death. I remember on TV, they predicted a cure for cancer in the year 2010. We are close to that year, but unfortunately not a cure.
terrible news
