Ted Kennedy: Sittin' on the Dock and O.K.

Ted Kennedy spent the weekend at the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, MA with his son Patrick -- using the assistance of a cane and golf cart to get around.

It's been a rough year for Ted -- he was diagnosed with a brain tumor in May, had brain surgery in June and suffered a mild seizure in September.

16. Let's see...there's Mary Jo...Martha Moxley...(possibly)Marilyn Monroe...Carolyn and Lauren Bissett...how many women have been killed by Kennedys?

17. I wonder if he hears Mary Jo calling him from the grave. Ted has never done anything for the people he has only done things for himself. If he represented the people we would all be drunks, rapist and murderers. Ted I hope your last days are miserable like Mary Jo's last 10 minutes.

18. Palin2012 you are a total moron - get your facts straight! Or, do you just get your jollies trashing terminally ill people? Bush has been whoring around with Condi Rice and is it in the news - NO. Clinton get a b-job and they impeach him for it, spending millions of tax dollars to investigate his sex life - the Democrats definitely DO NOT control the press - that's what Republican sore-losers always say. Who was in charge of spending all our tax dollars on the Clinton investigation - REPUBLICANS, THEY WERE IN CHARGE. Get your right-wing republican stupid head out of your butt and read FACTS for a change. MaryJo was not Ted's girlfriend, she was a campaign worker - did they have an affair? I don't know, I wasn't there. Murder it was not, it was an accident and he panicked, at best it's involuntary manslaughter. Idiot, go to school and get an education. The fact that you would vote for the useless hick Palin tells me a lot, and you have the nerve to call anyone a simpleton??? LOL on you. You and Eileen Gatti are a pair, of what I don't know.

19. Love this man and I wish him well. He's done more for the average American than any politician in the last century. Some day you haters should look at his record, the causes he's championed and fought hard for and think a little about how they have dirrectly effected your lives. Re the Chappie thing....yeah yeah yeah, none of you were there, she was not pregnant, she was not his girlfriend, and none of you have any clue what happened that night. It will be up to God to judge him not you.

20. Jason Miller:

"His son Patrick is a drunk and the worst speaker I have ever witnessed in my life. I saw him at a speech in Boston, he could barely put sentences together."

you mean like George W. Bush or worse? Cause that's hard to beat....

21. If he's really a catholic and believes in a God, I image he will have a little explaining to do regarding murder and abortion when he finally meets his maker. See ya Ted. Sure wouldn't want to be ya. Give my regards to Johnny Cochran when you see him in Hell.

22. Patrick Kennedy's speech at the American Psychological Association (APA) Convention in August 2008 was OBJECTIVELY 80X worse than George W. Bush's speeches. He would not get an "A" in a 9th grade public speaking class. I am not a huge Bush fan and admit he is terrible, but believe me Patrick made Bush look like Martin Luther King.

You are all free to view Patrick's horrendous speeches on you tube. I could not; however, find his APA speech.

BTW I bring up Patrick's speeches not to take pleasure in his bad speeches, but to give another example of how much America (especially liberal New Englanders) will overlook for a Kennedy. I mean why would anyone want a Congressman who can't speak. That is their job.

23. Jewel you are a real dumbass. What are you 12. Or just spoon fed the the crap you are told to repeat. You need a history lesson, try and go back to school and this time try and be stoned the whole time.

24. This Blood's For You Ted Kennedy for getting away with murder and never spending a single day in prison -- and yet the Democratic party treated you like The Pope at their National Convention. Hey Ted, do you ever think about that poor girl drowing in your car after you drove off the bridge and never notified anyone to save her while you waited an entire day and called your attorney? Sickening.

26. I see all of the Repubs are fired up to discuss Ted Kennedy's car accident 40 years ago - well then I guess fatal brain tumors are in order for Laura Bush (ran a stop sign in 1963 and killed a guy) and John McCain (1964 fatal car crash at a Virginia naval base gate - govt won't release details). John McCain should REALLY suffer even more for all of his affairs that he had on his crippled wife. At least Kennedy fessed up and dealt with his accident - McCain has his very well hidden, but we all know the killer that he is.

Hey Einstein - this article IS about Ted Kennedy not Laura Bush or John McCain. And yes, that "accident" speaks volumes about how the Kennedy's lived and lied and got away with murder. Please wake up and stop being so politically biased.

28. Politically biased?? A bit hypocritical are we?? Typical for the right. Let's see people are bashing a man with a fatal brain tumor - McCain HAS NEVER admitted his crash, and yet you call Ted Kennedy a liar?? Just sayin, if we're handing out brain tumors to people who have been driving in fatal accidents, LB and JM are next in line. Posts on this site state that he DESERVES his suffering because of his actions, then line 'em all up!

Hello? Have you met the Kennedys? As for the people on this site...they pretty much wish harm to everyone because it makes them feel good about themselves. It's twisted but what are you going to do? I personally wish no ill-will on anyone - karma, however, is a ...

30. WOW. So many vicious ugly people in the world. Funny how they are all right wing republican "Christians". The more religious they claim to be, the more vile and disgusting they are. Absolutely appalling. Shame on all of you.
