(May 20)Doctors say Senator Ted Kennedy has a malignant brain tumor. It was discovered after he suffered a seizure.On Saturday, Kennedy was flown from Cape Cod to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Doctors later determined he suffered a seizure. The length of the longtime Senator's stay raised questions by neurologists. One specialist said patients with similarly described symptoms are often released from the hospital in a matter of hours. Another neurologist said determining whether a patient had a seizure can take longer.No Kennedy family member has spoken publicly about the illness. Fellow Senators John Kerry and Chris Dodd described Kennedy's voice as strong and robust during phone calls over the weekend. A spokeswoman says Kennedy was not able to take a call from President Bush Monday morning. Statements have described Kennedy's visitors, and the movies and television he's watched, but there have been no photographs of him in the hospital. A request from the Associated Press was being considered. Kennedy underwent surgery last October on the left carotid artery in his neck after doctors discovered a near-complete blockage that left him with an elevated risk of a stroke.

The Kennedy family, despite being American toyalty and very wealthy, championed the poor for their entire lives.

the REAL shame is that so many in this country have been mind warped by Reagan, Nixon, and Bush into hating the poor and disenfranchised in this country.

Ted Kennedy never had a scandal like Bush or Reagan (Iran-Contra, Keating Regulation scandal, list goes on for Bush)

It's a shame that so many people hate those who strengthen our country but love the corporate suckups
