Although I don't want to wish anyone dead, having this unconvicted murderer off of the planet on my birthday, would be a pretty sweet gift.

Spokeswoman: Sen. Kennedy hospitalized with seizure (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/K/KENNEDY?SITE=VANOV&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT)
By DAVID ESPO and GLEN JOHNSON
Associated Press Writers
BOSTON (AP) -- Sen. Edward M. Kennedy was airlifted to a hospital Saturday after suffering a seizure at his home, and did not appear to have had a stroke as initially suspected, his spokeswoman said.
The 76-year-old Democrat, the lone surviving son in a famed political family, was undergoing tests at Massachusetts General Hospital to determine the cause of the seizure, spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said.
"Senator Kennedy is resting comfortably, and it is unlikely we will know anything more for the next 48 hours," she said. Kennedy's wife, Victoria, was with him at the hospital, Cutter said.
Kennedy went to Cape Cod Hospital on Saturday morning "after feeling ill at his home," Cutter said. After discussion with his doctors in Boston, Kennedy was taken to Massachusetts General.
An official who declined to be identified by name, citing the sensitivity of the events, had earlier said that Kennedy had stroke-like symptoms. The hospital declined to comment on his condition.
In October, Kennedy had surgery to repair a nearly complete blockage in a major neck artery. The discovery was made during a routine examination of a decades-old back injury.
The hourlong procedure on his left carotid artery - a main supplier of blood to the face and brain - was performed at Massachusetts General. This type of operation is performed on more than 180,000 people a year to prevent a stroke.
The doctor who operated on Kennedy said at the time that surgery is reserved for those with more than 70 percent blockage, and Kennedy had "a very high-grade blockage."
On Saturday, Hyannis Fire Lt. Bill Rex said a 911 call came in from the Kennedy family compound at 8:19 a.m. A man was transported to Cape Cod Hospital and transferred by air at 10:10 a.m. from Barnstable Municipal Airport to Boston.
David Reilly, a spokesman for Cape Cod Hospital, said that Kennedy was brought to the hospital around 9 a.m. and stayed for about an hour before being flown by helicopter to the Boston hospital.
Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts did not talk to reporters when he arrived at the hospital shortly after 1 p.m.
Kerry later issued a statement, saying that Kennedy "been a fighter who has overcome adversity again and again with courage, grit, and determination. Teresa and I are praying" for Kennedy's family.
Kennedy, 76, has been in the Senate since election in 1962, filling out the term won by his brother, John F. Kennedy.
Kennedy is the lone surviving son in a famed family. His eldest brother, Joseph, was killed in a World War II airplane crash. President John Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 and his brother Robert was assassinated in 1968.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, beginning a tour of hospitals in Eugene, Ore., told reporters that he had been in touch with the senator's family.
"Ted Kennedy is a giant in American political history. He's done more for health care than just about anybody in history. We are going to be rooting for him. I insist on being optimistic about how it's going to turn out," he said.
Obama's rival for the Democratic nomination, New York. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, also issued a statement.
"My thoughts and prayers are with Ted Kennedy and his family today," she said. "We all wish him well and a quick recovery."
Kennedy gave Obama's presidential campaign a big boost this year with his endorsement and has campaigned actively for the Illinois senator.
Kennedy was preparing to host the annual Best Buddies Challenge event on Saturday afternoon, a fundraiser for the Best Buddies organization founded by Anthony Kennedy Shriver that helps people with intellectual disabilities.
Hundreds are expected to participate in the event, which started with a 100-mile bicycle ride from the Kennedy Library in Boston to Hyannisport, and closes out with a concert at the Kennedy compound.
A man walking by Massachusetts General was startled by the news when he asked about the reason for the large media presence.
"Ted? Is he all right? Jeez, I'm taken aback. I just saw him on television yesterday," said Jerry Leonard, 76, a retired bartender.
"He's a Kennedy. His name is synonymous with this area. I'm a Bostonian, too, and he's done a lot for us around here and for the senior citizens in particular. I don't know him but I feel a connection."

Precursor to a stroke.

No Don, I don't know if he did it intentionally..neither do you..you think he did, but have no proof. I have a few theories but I have no proof..therein lies the key..PROOF. Forensics today might prove him guilty, but would raise one hell of a hullabaloo. Forensics and police work then..with an influential political family and lots of money, in a small, upper class Mass. town? Not so much.

Do I have PROOF that he did it? Of course not. What I have is a string of clues that adds up to the most likely conclusion that he drove into that water,and left the girl to die. If he did nothing wrong, he wouldn't have had the whole thing covered up.

Well versed in lex parsimoniae, I was told by my dad and a few other FBI of the time (dad has alumni poker games once a month), that they all pretty much knew that the Secret Service made it happen, and the whole thing was swept under the rug.

- The admiring journalist Joe McCarthy had no illusions about young Ted. "He isn't very very heavy mentally........nothing like his brothers. In many ways he's a fathead, a little bit conceited, a little bit cocky, the kind of guy who'd never finish a sentence when you asked him a question. He simply didn't think things through as Jack and Bobby did."
Fathead...

To repeat, a common law murder is defined as the unlawful killing of a human person with malice aforethought if the defendant acts with any of the following states of mind:
(i) Intent to kill; (ii) Intent to inflict serious bodily harm; (iii) Reckless indifference to an unjustifiably high risk to human life (abandoned and malignant heart); or (iv) Intent to commit a felony (felony-murder doctrine).
Under element (i) intent to kill, the deadly weapon rule applies. Thus, if the defendant intentionally uses a deadly weapon or instrument against the victim, such use authorizes a permissive inference of intent to kill. An example of a deadly weapon or instrument is a gun, a knife, or even a car when intentionally used to strike the victim.
Under element (iii) abandoned and malignant heart, the killing must result from defendant's conduct involving a reckless indifference to human life and a conscious disregard of an unreasonable risk of death or serious bodily injury. An example of this is a 2007 law in California where an individual could be convicted of second-degree murder if he or she kills another person while operating a motor vehicle while being under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or controlled substances.
Under element (iv) felony-murder doctrine, the felony committed must be an inherently dangerous felony, such as burglary, arson, ****, robbery or kidnapping. Importantly, the underlying felony cannot be a lesser-included offense such as assault, otherwise all criminal homicides would be murder as all criminal homicides are felonies.
Looks like murder to me.

Jeez, If he dies then every Kennedy brother would have died from their brains going to mush.
Stole my line.
I don't know though. He has kept pretty active, even if it doesn't look like it, and just might live long enough with the chemo and stuff to die from causes other than the brain tumor.

Karma's a bitch, ain't it Ted?
A pretty fucking slow-moving one, though.

So you're taking the doctors' predictions and adding a couple of months, just to be sure. Be careful out on that limb, sir. :haha7:

Does this mean Ted will support medical marijuana?
Politically, if he doesn't hold out until 2011 (when the next Gov. of Mass takes over, I believe), there isn't going to be a huge difference. Patrick will appoint the most radical liberal he can to replace Kennedy, since that's what Kennedy is and Kennedy's mystique could push pretty much anybody into his place for a little while.
If Patrick chooses one of the Kennedy scions, and the kid doesn't fuck up too badly, the replacement Kennedy would be a shoo-in for the 2012 elections for that seat.
This takes out a personality in politics, and it takes down one of the leaders of the DNC, but it doesn't really change the vote math in the Senate.
Just sayin'.

People are acting as if he has already died. He's not dead...Yet. I was watching him on the news just now. He seems okay. A little slower than normal though.

Just hoping. Any chance when all the Kennedys are gone they can pass the "curse" over to the Clintons?

The Real Kennedy Record

Proponents of the 1965 bill argued that immigration laws and quotas were discriminatory, and that American immigration policy should accept people not on the basis of their nationality.
Ted Kennedy has been a staunch supporter of gun control initiatives. In 2006 he was one of the 16 senators who voted against the Vitter Amendment, which prohibited the confiscation of legally-possessed firearms during a disaster.
