  • OH NO TED KENNEDY: He was cold lunchin’ with the bigwigs in the Capitol’s Statuary Hall when he collapsed. It was apparently a seizure, and he got taken to the hospital. Also, for those Robert Byrd fans who freak out any time they hear about an old person falling over, fear not, Senator Byrd is fine. [CNN]

Well — Caroline’s a shoo-in now.

Faker.

Clearly, Barack simply has to lay hands on Senator Kennedy and he’ll make a full recovery.

Can I step in and help? Also?

Mary Jo Kopechne rose from the dead and ate his braiiiiiiiiiiiins!

Can Joe Lieberman get brain cancer next, please?

BHO appointed Kennedy and Byrd his official food tasters. BHO showed his pragmatic approach to governing by giving this job to the already near dead!

Well, obviously, screw Senator Byrd. Who gives a shit, as long as Jesse Helms stays dead.

Mondale said that he and Kennedy were swapping war stories about Byrd, when Kennedy collapsed.

Why couldn’t it have been Roberts, Alito, Scalia and Thomas?

Canmon (the Inadequate) January 20, 2009 at 4:18 pm

I hope Patrick didn’t drive him to the hospital.

[re=223837]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Yea, where were Alito, Scalia, and Thomas? Taking a collective shit in the portapotties? Having a geriatric three way?

[re=223780]actor212[/re]: Wow! Only the fifth post? It took you that long to read “Ted Kennedy” and hit the macro key for a Chappaquiddick post?

[re=223782]Cape Clod[/re]: Alas, he lacks the fundamental prerequisite for said disease.

[re=223860]user-of-owls[/re]: Oh pulleeez…SOMEONE had to!

re: Sen. Byrd: Once an aide of Fritz Hollings ran in to tell him Strom Thurmond had collapsed on the Senate floor. Fritz replied “He’ll get up. He always does.”

Should have stayed away from the peanut butter s’mores.

I’se a comin’, Mary Jo!

Bearbloke January 20, 2009 at 5:26 pm

“Cui bono?” I say… according to the current Presidential line of succession, Hillary comes *after* Byrd…. so maybe Uncle Ted got Byrd’s drink (along with his own, or course)…

Kennedy’s always have to go out melodramatically; assassination, plane crash, seizure. Drama queens!

DangerousLiberal January 20, 2009 at 9:14 pm

[re=223772]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Word.

Also: Orrin Hatch and even Bob Cornyn (Nutjob-TX) had nice things to say about the Tedster. Is there some sort of epidemic of hope breaking out? Does CDC know about this?

DangerousLiberal January 20, 2009 at 9:16 pm

[re=223854]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: According to Sen. Vitter, these are not mutually exclusive options. They are a turn on, also.

Those Kennedy boys used to be so healthy, playing football on the Whitehouse Lawn and all. But they seem to be cursed by some sorta head thing.
