Doctors for the Massachusetts Democrat say tests conducted after Kennedy suffered a seizure this weekend show a tumor in his left parietal lobe. His treatment will be decided after more tests but the usual course includes combinations of radiation and chemotherapy.
Nice to know you, Ted.
I wonder how long he's had it for?

That's too bad. The last of the Kennedy brothers will be gone. I thought his 2004 address at the DNC was pretty awesome. It talked about the need to understand history in order for our country to go forward. Something that badly needed to be said amidst all the revisionism going around no thanks to the propagandists in the Bush administration.

Here's a quote from Ezra Klein:
Ezra Klein wrote:Ted Kennedy has a malignant brain tumor. Kennedy is the most effective, dogged, determined, and skilled liberal legislator in the Senate. He's one of the few Senators who is genuinely irreplaceable, whose absence would degrade the nation's social policy, and thus the life chances and economic security of millions of its disadvantaged residents. Without Kennedy, we wouldn't have the Americans with Disabilities Act, S-CHIP, the Family and Medical Leave Act, or any of a hundred other crucial pieces of legislation. Without Kennedy, it's hard to imagine passing universal health care. Without Kennedy, it's hard to imagine passing paid family or medical leave. Without Kennedy, it's hard to imagine our country becoming more decent or just or humane.
Say what you will about Kennedy, he will have a great legacy behind him just like his brothers. I'm pretty sure there's a ton of right-wing bloggers who are going to blabber on about how happy they are to see the man die. But I wouldn't expect anything less from those types of people.

There is always someone happy to see a known name die. We are all those types of people.
