Kennedy called on to resign by Boston Globe
The Boston Globe – bastion of liberalism – has nevertheless called on Ted Kennedy to resign his US Senate seat. Not because of Mary Jo Kopechne, nor because of his need to lose belly fat, nor because of his absolute corruption of the Kennedy name, but because he’s sick, has brain cancer, and probably will not be able to live out his final term, which ends in 2012.
Kennedy has been absent for most of the US Senate’s 270 roll-call votes this year, and Massachusetts is basically short one Senator. So of course the Boston Globe’s solution is: quick, let’s get another Democrat in there before the voters can have a say.
Kennedy, who helped strip the Massachusetts governor of his right to name a replacement back when Republican Mitt Romney was governor, is now trying to restore that power, now that the Dems are back in control of the Governor’s mansion.
See what I mean by that “absolute corruption” remark yet?
Sen. Ted Kennedy hospitalized
US Senator Ted Kennedy was hospitalized for a siezure over the weekend, and, according to various news sources, while his life is not in immediate danger, his condition is considered serious. Kennedy, the last remaining of the Kennedy clan of his generation that included John and Robert, is a 76-year-old Democrat and this is his second hospitalization in the past seven months.
While WonderfulPessimist.com opposes the Massachusetts US Senator on nearly every issue and stance he’s ever taken, we do extend our prayers to him and his family for a swift and complete recovery. After having my own mom go through a series of health problem over the past year, these are worries and situations I wish on no one. May he rest comfortably in the meantime, preferrably on a memory foam mattress.
