The Candidates on Ted Kennedy
Here's another even-less-funny-than-usual post about Sen. Ted Kennedy, who was recently diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.
The three candidates have issued statements praising the Massachusetts senator and wishing him well…
"I would not be sitting here as a presidential candidate were it not for some of the battles he fought as a senator — he battled for voting rights and civil rights when I was a child. I stand on his shoulders," Obama said.
Hillary Clinton issued a statement saying, "Ted Kennedy's courage and resolve are unmatched, and they have made him one of the greatest legislators in Senate history. Our thoughts are with him and Vicki and we are praying for a quick and full recovery."…
Speaking in Florida aboard his campaign bus, the Straight Talk Express, [John McCain said]: "I have described Ted Kennedy as the last lion in the Senate. And I have held that view because he remains the single most effective member of the Senate."
It's possible that Ralph Nader and Alan Keyes also made official statements, but, if so, no one was in near enough proximity to hear them.

Should have, could have. He wouldn't get the death penalty anyway, he is a Kennedy.
What a cute slap at Nader. The really funny thing is that he's done more the American people than Obama, Clinton and McCain combined.
When's he going to be back on the show?

Please, do not tarnish the name of the great state of Texas any further by identifying yourself as a Texan while making such a ridiculously ill-timed statement. You dishonor us all, and I am ashamed of you.

I'm sorry he has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. It doesn't remove any of the stigma he brought on himself the night he should have saved Mary Jo Kopechne. He's the one who slapped even more tarnish on the Kennedys.
