Hospitalized!
Filed under: Politik
Ted Kennedy was rushed to the emergency room Saturday morning, and it could be quite serious.
Reports indicate that the Senator suffered stroke-like symptoms at the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport, Mass.
Ted was first rushed to Cape Cod Hospital around 9 AM.
After being in the emergency room for two hours there, he was transported to Barnstable Airport and was then flown to Massachusetts General Hospital.
There is no word on his condition.
Kennedy is 76 years old.

Maybe he'll go see Mary Jo Kopechne and be able to say "I'm sorry I killed you."
FIRST!!
Never mind he's an asshole anyway
Good. I hope he dies. Evil bastard.
Carma…it's a bitch!
I would like to express my wish of faith, strength and hope to Senator Kennedy and his extended family.
WHY DID THEY HAVE TO MED FLIGHT HIM TO BOSTON? TRUST ME IF THAT WAS U OR I WE WOULD STILL BE DOWN THE CAPE. HOPE HE IS OK.
GO HILLARY!
Hate to say it, but good! He is a murderer! Google Ted Kennedy murder and you'll see. His endorsement of Obama is why I'll be voting republican for the first time in my life. Birds of a feather… Obama WILL LOSE!
Senator Edward Kennedy has served the citizens of the United States in office since November 1962, and is the second-longest serving member of the Senate. He is the senior United States Senator from Massachusetts and a member of the Democratic Party. As such, after 46 years of public service to all of you, no matter what your political leanings, he deserves your full respect and gratitude at a time like this. My best hopes and prayers are extended for his full recovery.
THIS FAT ASS SHOULD HAVE DIED IN THE CHAPAQUITIC
Let's see- the Communist News Network said ted is a "liberal lion" in the senate. And his family is "political royalty". JFK and his successor got a lot of people killed in VietNam. Ted Kennedy killed a woman by letting her drown so his wife wouldn't catch him cheating. Ted was always the "slow one" his father said- and was never the one for politics. He cheated like a dog on his first wife. He is a limosine liberal, wanting no one else to get as rich as he is. He is the definition of blowhard and alcoholic. No one at CNN mentions it and they GLOSS over the murder of Mary Jo Kopechne by calling it the "chappaqquiddick incident". Pathetic. Obama cares because old Teddy can raise up the votes (particularly of dead voters and people who register twice) and endorsed Obama to spite Bill Clinton because ted hates Bill. That's WHY Ted and Caroline were grinning like fools when they made their endorsement– they were screwing Bill and that made them gleeful. Oh yeah, he's a lion all right.
pray real hard - that he dies.
Well I guess years and years of alcohol abuse have finally caught up with this pompous ass!
DING DONG THE BIG FAT COMMUNIST LIBERAL IS DEAD!
Re: Canaduck – He should never have been elected= it was a sympathy vote on the part of the people of Massachusetts. He was a protege of the bombastic Tip O'neill, who screwed the rest of america by getting us to pay for special projects in Boston and Mass. ted kennedy screwed americans out of billions of special interest dollars with the pork he put in bills. I am not grateful to him and I do not respect adulterers, murderers, or frankly, alcoholics. You can do that if you want- but a lot of people see him as a hypocritical liar who is disgraceful in his personal and professional conduct.
Tough Chit.. maybe he will see Mary Jo and tell her he is sorry he left her to die.
once an asshole always an asshole.
Canaduck–
He's a womanizer, a boozer and he got away with murder.
He's not getting any respect or thanks from me.
They are now saying he had a seizure at home, then another on the MedFlight from Barnstable to Mass General.
Must be all the alcohol he consume throughout the years soon or later it catches up with. He was a drunk who used his name to get elected and stay elected.
WHY?
That scumbag has had a nice 50+ years Mary didn't. Fuck him and his spoiled family. They shot all the good ones and he was left. What a Tragedy. Mr democrat wants environmental this and that ,but NO windmills to spoil his views. Typical politician hypocrit. Fuck him, good riddance, oh yeah he's still alive.
It's amazing this fat fuck has lived this long!
I see you got a very good picture of him, normally he is drunk, his face is red and bloated and in skid marked boxer shorts. Oh and let's not forget he's a murderer.
Im from Mass, this man is a WONDERFUL man.
4 years ago when gay marriage was a big issue my friend wrote to him and got a personal letter back in support.
The Kennedy family does SO much good to help people in need that they dont publicize.
He serves food to homeless without the press there.
They STARTED the Special Olympics.
They give 100 free gallons of heating oil to the very poor and elderly in Massachusetts so elderly people dont have to be freezing in the brutal Mass winters.
He is a VERY good man. I dont follow politics but Im almost in tears over this.
I hope he's ok.
Republican talk show hosts talk smack about them but the Kennedy family has done more good for the world than all the republitards combined.
I use to love the Kennedy's but not any more they went rotten. Nothing is nice and pure about any of them.
This man has earned no respect. The Kennedys have killed more Americans than the Bushes by a factor of 10 or more.
Plus, there's the drinking, the cheating on his wife, the communist policies, and oh yeah, the murder that he committed.
Re: MED FLIGHT? – Becuase he's a kennedy. You are I would have died in the ambulance stuck in traffic. Fuck him. the alcohol companies will miss him along with the other irish drunks in Mass who keep re electing that clown.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and your family Senator.
That's what he gets for being a liberal.
GRIEF COUNSELORS have been sent to CNN to settle down the CRYING REPORTERS
MASSACHUSETTS LOVES HILLARY!
Re: DING DONG THE LIBERAL IS DEAD – Go McCain!
Oh, and to all the stupid republitards here, this morning he was attending yet ANOTHER benefit that HE started to help people with special needs when this happened.
Where the fuck were YOU while he was raising money to help people with needs?
You were doing nothing, thats where you were.
Re: Massboy – Did they start the special olympics after feeling guitly for locking the retarded duaghter away to hise her from the public and kill her out of shame?????????? Wow that's one thing. Giving away gallons of oil is nice but they are loaded thanks to their grandfather the crook. So 2 things you can name. Wow they are amazing!!!! You are like the other Massholes who thought it was cool to have a drinking partying kennedy. Good for you.
Re: EXACTLYYYYYYYYYYYY –
I'M FROM MASSACHUSETTS AND IRISH. I'M NOT A DRUNK AND TRUST ME WE DON'T LIKE KENNEDY!
This scumbag murdered Mary Jo Kopechne and everyone knows it. He has gone the last 50 years without feeling the slightest remorse for her death and has never even apologized to the Kopechne family. A real lowlife!
I am sorry to report a record loss today. Ted we will miss you and your red nose and pants around your ankles.
STROKE LIKE SYMPTOMS? HE WAS PROBABLY DRUNK!
I am sorry to report the stock has dropped in half! Ted, we will miss you and your red nose and pants around the ankles…
See you soon fatboy. Maybe then you'll apologize, although you will have to do it from outside the gates. You can't get in plus your are taking the elevator dooooooown. Leave the winter cloths in Mass., you won't need them where you are going. This time I will have a drink on you, bye bye!
CONSIDERING HIS FONDNESS FOR ILLEGAL MEXICANS, MAYBE THEY WILL HELP HIM OUT?
Re: Mary Jo – I choose to focus on his professional public accomplishments and battles, which are lengthy and honorable. You can focus on a long past sad incident or his alleged personal demons in his off hours if you so choose. He has lived a entire life of reconciliation and full, dedicated public service ever since. How much public sorry is sorry enough for you? Half full, or half empty? I have followed his professional life on and off in detail for 46 years, plus his website, which is worth checking out, btw, and have nothing but admiration for the things he has managed to accomplish or hoped to. I'm not a citizen, but a neutral witness, but AM an American by virtue of living in North America. Appreciate what needs and deserves appreciating, and don't get caught up in the one or two pieces of lint on an otherwise beautiful table of fine craftsmanship, IMHO. Misfortune can, and does, build great character.
Re: Canaduck – Fuck you Canaduck, how dare you preach to us? *I* did not vote for him. Kennedy murdered a young woman and got away with it. I wonder how many other senators are murderers? No sympathy here.
cape cod hospital is probably a community hospital, mass. general a trama hospital which can handle things better. Besides, the 1st hospital probably did not want the reputation of having the last Kennedy brother die there. He has done some crappy things, but I hope he does not end up like a vegetable. No one deserves that.
Re: Massboy – FUCK PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, HOW ABOUT THE WORKING PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING FUCKED IN THE ASS TRYING TO SURVIVE WITH ALL THE FINANCIAL INFLATION? FUCK YOU AND YOUR STUPID FUCKING IDEAS.
Good. I hope that fucker suffers for at least a day before he dies.

BITCHEZ..IN KENTUCK..STAND UP 4 YOUR GIRLZ..VOTE HILL…LUV HER..
I hope he dies!!!!! He's a disgrace to the human race and should have been booted from Capitol Hill YEARS ago! He's also a murderer and I hope there is a special place in Hell for him.
Whoever before me stated that "they shot the good Kennedys and left the evil one" was spot on!
I really hope he dies but I hope it's a slow process. I hope he's in a vegetative state for months with tubes coming out of him and has to have a nurse wipe his arse each day and all he can do is lie there and think about what an evil prick he has been his whole life.
Re: ceecee –
MASSACHUSETTS HAS THE BEST HOSPITALS! THEY CAN HANDLE A STROKE AT THE CAPE. HE IS JUST IS GETTING SPECIAL TREATMENT AS USUAL. I JUST HOPE HE DIDN'T TAKE THE MED FLIGHT AWAY FROM SOMEONE WHO REALLY NEEDED IT!

Re: Massboy – Please spare me! The whole family was and still is a bunch of crooks. Joe Kennedy made all his money from illegal bootlegging, they had a retarded daughter that they kept locked up until they decided to give her a lobotomy which eventually killed her. Teddy boy goes out on a date and 24 hours later the girl turns up dead and the cops find him sleeping like a baby at home. Yea real nice people.
Go Hillary!
i dont know what everyones problem is. i understand the whole drowning incident HOW MANY YEARS AGO?! Since then Senator Kennedy has done more for Massachusetts than any other person. Look at all the bills he has fought for and have been passed, many of your children OWE Mr.Kennedy a DEBT of gratitude.
We all make mistakes and yes his was a big one but you know what that was decades ago and he obviously has been trying to make amends, so shut your mouth and dont 'pray that he dies' because obviously if your that type of person you deserve what you have coming.
Just look at one or two of the bills he drew attention to and got passed and then you can have your judgement.
I can't believe the mean spirited responses to this story. Actually, yes, I can. The Kennedy's have their faults, but the good this family has done for this country is astounding.There isn't a single person reading this whose life hasn't been positively affected by his work. It's too bad that his entire life will be defined by his darkest moment, but it's even more unfortunate how many mean, rotten, ignorant people exist in this world.
Re: Massboy –
yah I'm MASS and he sucks!
he had a seizure. update this shit.
Re: Hyde – I wrote IMHO, which means in. my. humble. opinion. If you feel preached at, then you don't respect another's opinion. How sad. That is hardly free, but is also hardly news these days, lol.
GOOD THING HE WASN'T DRIVING!!! HE MAY HAVE DRIVEN INTO A RIVER AND KILLED SOMEONE!!!! Oh, wait……nevermind….
Fuck that bloated old bag of flea shit. Hope his lungs fill with fluid and downs in his own rotten shit.
What, no political commentary Perez? Your bias is showing.
I've been waiting for you Ted. You aren't getting in. I've talked to St Peter (and frankly your two brothers too) and he agrees this is not where you belong. Wish I could say I was sorry.
Love, Mary Jo
Re: Hyde – No Catholic ever 'gets away with' another's death. His whole life has been about making amends. It was an accident, and his car went of a bridge with BOTH of them in it. He managed to swim up, but dove down several times but did not succeed in rescuing her. He attended her funeral. Murder has a definition, and this does not meet it; not even close. Educate yourself, sir, or look foolish.
Kennedy was a leading member of the bipartisan team that wrote the controversial No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, which, according to both Kennedy and President Bush, was a compromise.
Kennedy has been a longtime advocate of raising the minimum wage. He helped pass the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007, which incrementally raises the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 over a two year period.
Kennedy is one of only five senators who have publicly announced support for same-sex marriage.
Kennedy has opposed federal attempts to cut student financial aid, such as Ronald Reagan's 1986 planned limitations on Guaranteed Student Loans to students whose families earned over $32,500 a year, and a planned $4,000 cap on all federal aid and benefits that a student could receive in one year.
Kennedy supported the College Affordability and Access Act of 2007 which provides $20 billion in new federal financial aid investments for low- and middle-income students and their families.
These are just a few that he has helped pass in the past 50 years…
IM DISGUSTED BY ALL THESE MALICIOUS COMMENTS…
GET AN EDUCATION AND DONT JUDGE PEOPLE UNLESS YOU KNOW THEM…
just for the record if something DOES happen to Kennedy this country WILL SUFFER….BELIEVE ME.
Re: you people suck – that is hardly fair to say that people who tell the truth about this man and what he has done to many taxpayers while being a so called "hero" are ignorant or mean spirited. Sometimes the truth is just THAT. He isn't some innocent child being maligned. He's done what he has done. Too bad you think no one can tell the truth about a public figure. Actually- I hope he donates his body to science. How could anyone live that long and be that fat and reckless and drink that much? Must be rose kennedy's genes.
The MGH give me a break why not Cape Hospital!
How ya like me now? Muuhahahaha! Don't forget to add the run and coke to his I.V. drip…….murderer!!!
Peace be with his family. Kennedy was the lone liberal voice in the wilderness for a long time. He has fought hard for veterans health care, senior citizen health care, etc
Re: Mama – and maybe one day Laura Bush can say sorry to her college boyfriend who she hit with her car and killed on a clear unopstructed road
Re: Mary Jo Kopechne – Laura bush ran a stop sign and killed her then boyfriend in 1963
He is the "white OJ". The SOB got away with murder over 30 years ago - there are those of us who will never forget the Kennedy cover up of Mary Jo. Left her to drown after the drunken sot drove over a bridge. Forensics said she would have survived had he tried to save her. Good riddance - say hello to satan when you reach the bottom.
Re: Massboy – How do YOU know where any of us are? Actually, statistically Republicans give more to charity than dems. But what difference does that make? People have choices. This guy took billions in tax payer dough for his special projects- like the pitifully crappy Big Dig that is falling apart. You will NEVER know how many kickbacks he got. He isn't some king. And he is not anyone's savior. Everything he GIVES away comes from someone. Someone who worked for it. And before the traitor Jimmy Carter came into office, Democrats respected the working man too. Not anymore. Now Mccain is a democrat, Obama is a liberal and there are no republicans left. have fun working your ass of to be taxed more and more and more every time you get a promotion. Ron Paul is the only decent one who ran.
yeah! Cape Cod! Barnstable! a first.
KENNEDY = OBAMA
GO HILLARY!
Ted Kennedy has been a disgrace to our Senate ever since he drove Mary Jo Kopechne off that bridge and left her there to die! He is a major turd and has been for as long as I can remember. He has made a mockery of what both his brothers; JFK and RFK stood for. What a drunken mess! May God bless you Teddy so that you may drink another day!
Re: Jimmyboyo – Yep- she was a new driver, and it was an accident. Ted Kennedy made a DECISION not to jump back in that water, not to go for help, not to tell anyone what happened, etc. I don't doubt that the car going IN the water was an accident from a drunk driver (Ted)- but his actions AFTER the accident were criminal. Kennedy screwed us with the immigration act of 1965. He tried to patch it up later. Too late.
You fat, bloated back-stabbing piece of crap….Karma is a bitch!!!
NOW WE FIND OUT HE HAD SURGERY ON HIS CAROTID ARTERY IN OCTOBER. NO WONDER HE STABBED HILLARY IN THE BACK AND BACKED OBAMA….HIS FINAL HURRAH….WHERE IS HILLIARY?????????
gotta love the pinhead right winger assholes here, so upset about some woman accidentally killed over 40 years ago, but not a fucking word said about over 4000 dead soldiers killed in the last few years over lies and deceit.
Real classy, wingnuts, real classy.
that's what he gets for betraying hillary,,,
Re: Jimmyboyo – Yes, that's true about Laura Bush and her boyfriend being killed, but here's the difference you idiot! She wasn't married, out partying with the "office girls", wasn't drunk, didn't run the car off a bridge, she didn't leave anyone alive inside the vehicle while she swam against a strong current and then went to her hotel without calling the cops. That's what Ted Kennedy did. Mary Jo Kopechne probably lived 20 minutes waiting for that narcissistic politician to come back and save her. He went to his hotel and went to sleep. So the two incidents are hardly comparable, are they, you fuckwit?
Re: PatinNJ – Actually, there were also more military deaths during the CLINTON administration than the Bush administration. look it up. It is all on line. The kennedy's were responsible for 60,000 deaths at least, most of whom were soldiers who were drafted out of schools and work, not to mention the deaths at the bay of pigs. You shouldn't start a war you won't finish. Guess people didn't learn that lesson yet.
HE WAS THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO EMBRACE GAY RIGHTS….HE WENT TO A GAY FUNDRAISER AND COMMENTED ON HOW THEMEN WERE KNOCKOUTS! PRETTY COOL STRAIGHT DUDE
.
.
.
.
I BELIEVE HE HAS REMORSE FOR HIS PAST SINS
.
.
NONE OF US ARE PERFECT……I'M LIVING PROOF OF THAT
.
.
I EYE EVERY HOT GUY I SEE….I BELIEVE I'M EVERY INCH A MAN BUT FLAWED…..LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. GOOD LUCK TO THE SENATOR
Re: Ted – Well, i am truly sorry for anyone who dies in combat or in accidents in the area of combat. But i am sorrrier for the 60 thousand killed in vietnam because of JFK and RFK.
Reply to Ted: Get your facts straight - WHY do you bleeding libs ALWAYS have to drag Bush into EVERYTHING. This blog is ABOUT TED. Can you not keep a thought straight? What a pathetic narrow existence you lead if you can't have a decent conversation without bringing the war into it. There's a name for that condition. Subhuman IQ and boring as HELL.
Re: Jimmyboyo – #79 YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! AND SHE NEVER GETS CALLED ON IT…..I'M TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT LIBERAL BIAS IN THE PRESS! THE BUSHES GET AWAY WITH SO MUCH………THIS WAR……….MY GOD………I LOST TWO FRIENDS OVER IT……..ONE TO A BOMB……….THE OTHER TO PTSD…….WAIT TILL OLIVER STONE'S BUSH MOVIE COMES OUT!!!!!!!!!!! NO ONE'S HANDS ARE COMPLETELY CLEAN……..THE TRUTH ALWAYS COMES OUT……..I HAVE AN OVERACTIVE LIBIDO AND I'M LABELED A WHORE…..BUT IT'S ALL GOOD…….WE'LL ALL BE OK
Re: GEEZ – Uhm, YOUR side brought Bush into it. see:Re: PatinNJ –
Maybe now he'll finally retire and do us all a huge favor. I hate to hear of anyone being ill but this man and his lefty cronies have done so much damage to this country it's incomprehensible.
Re: Canaduck – well bully for you. Hes a murdering, womanizing, cheating, waste of skin DRUNK!!! His organs wont even do anyone any good after he dies (maybe he already has) because he pickled them!!!!! Good riddance to this trash. John Jr was the only decent one in the bunch.
Re: Mary Jo – actualy that is wrong. Self identified liberals give more to charity than conservatives. ALSO bible belt conservative states have higher high school drop out numbers, larger welfare rolls, more out of wedlock births, more abortions, and more divorces than liberal northern states
Boy, so many of you guys are evil!! He made a mistake but, has done many things since then that were responsible.
TO MASSACHUSSETTS, MED FLIGHT, AND EXACTLY……..Cape Cod Hospital is a small Hospital that does not have the facilities to handle life threatening situations. I walked in there in preterm labor (7 weeks) and they were ready to transport me to Mass General for the same reason. However, it was too late and they transported my (thankfully) healthy daughter there as a precaution. That's what they do.
