Kennedy Hospitalized

Here's the Boston Globe's account, and here's Jeff Zeleny for the NYT. Hopefully he'll pull through.

Ted's an inspirational public servant. Who else can you say that about? Pray for the guy if you can.

Yeah, It'd be a shame to lose a guy who drove a car off a bridge in the early hours of the morning, with a woman inside, who then never contacted the authorities in an attempt to rescue the woman, and only called the police after he knew the body had been discovered in a car registered in his family's name, some 10 hours later. Really, a two month suspended sentence for leaving the scene of an accident covers it, and it is to be urgently desired that such a fine fellow live many, many, many, more years.

Ethan (Will),

He (Ted Kennedy) has more than made up for that with 45 years of devoted service to improving the lives of average Americans. Funny how you're not upset at the thousands upon thousands of murders, the needless sacrifice of 4,000+ Americans, the draining of our National Treasury, et. al. committed by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Perle, Wolfowitz for which they haven't so much as received a traffic ticket for.

Could it be that you resent his accomplishments in your belief that only those who make America a MORE UNJUST society are swell folks? And, pray tell - other than picking your nose and flicking your boogers at good people, name one tangible, positive selfless act you've ever done? And, sucking your dad- Will Allen, Sr.'s dick under the mistletoe on Christmas day doesn't count.

No, Trevor, you don't make up for killing a person thorough correct politics, especially when you've never given a full account of your behavior, and it takes a particular sort of dolt to think otherwise. Just like it takesa dolt to presume to question the details of someone else's biography based upon interactions in a forum like this.

From one Bostonian to another, get well.
