Today I heard the news that Ted Kennedy has been diagnosed with brain cancer, a for of cancer that can be treated, but not cured. They said that half the patients with this form of cancer die within a year. Sad.
Now let me get this straight, I don't really care for Ted Kennedy. I've always considered him one of the worst Senators on the Hill, and I won't even go into his personal life. However, that doesn't mean that I would take any kind of pleasure in this kind of news. It's tragic, and I wish him and his family the best in these trying times.
As I was driving in to work today I heard Rush talking about the situation. At Dinner I heard Hannity discussing it, and on the drive home I heard a replay of John Gibson, and all three of these men discussing Kennedy's health, and all three were very respectful to the man. They didn't try to hide the fact that they rarely agree with the man on political issues, but all felt this was a horrible situation, and wished the man well.
I thought back to how the media on the left handled the recent death of Jerry Falwell, and the not so recent death of Ronald Reagan, and all of the cruel, vile and downright despicable comments that I heard. Just one more reason why I choose to be a conservative.
Ted, I know you will use the time you have left to its best use. Like I said, we rarely saw eye-to-eye, but bless you for your service to our country.

I'm with you as far as sympathising with Ted as a human being with a terrifying health problem is concerned. I can't, however, see that Ted's service has been to his country. He betrayed his country on immigration, in point of fact, and spent his entire career in the Senate doing his utmost to advance the cause of socialism.
