Senator Edward Kennedy has been airlifted to Massachusetts General Hospital. A Democratic source from Massachusetts reported that he had “stroke-like symptoms”. Kennedy had undergone surgery in October of last year to unclog a partially clogged carotid artery in his neck. A stroke occurs when there is a disturbance in the arteries that provide blood to the brain.
The very best of wishes to the Senator and his family.

Ted not ROBERT!!
Fixed!
I wish him a full and quick recovery.
We wish you, Senator Kennedy, stand firm, fight, and win this battle. We all want to see you recover and continue enjoy this marvelous gift that called life. We are all with you. You shall get over it. Kennedy and his whole family have done everything from being tied with the mafia, booze running, screwing every woman then could and even causing the death of at least 1 women. His brother began the involvement of America in Vietnam and he wants millions of Mexicans to break our laws and reward them with our jobs and our country.
His father was Nazi (that supported the annihilation of the Jews during ww2 and supported it by active acts). We expect you, Senator Kennedy, to please forgiveness and pardon for your father. We expect you, Senator Kennedy, to please forgiveness and pardon for your involvement in the drowning of Mary Jo Kopechne.
