I'm very sorry that Senator Kennedy is facing the challenge of brain cancer and I hope he will have a full recovery. My mother died of the same thing many years ago and it's a tough road.
But may I just point out how distasteful it is that the gasbags are giving a continuous eulogy for someone who's still alive? If I were him, I don't think I'd appreciate it.
No American teevee in front of me right now, but I remember how they'd basically buried Tim Johnson after his brain-related health problems were announced. It was creepy.
