It just break my heart to know the last of the Kennedy brothers will go down like this. I saw my grandmother in her final days afflicted with a similar tumor, she was by far the most brilliant person I have ever met. The list of books read in her life could easily fill a library. I just hate to see this happen to him, or anyone else.

He may have done some pretty crappy things in his past, but we all make mistakes. Some of us have much worse mistakes than others, and some of us will end up spending our lives trying to pay for those mistakes.

 

So you would say he is almost singlehandedly the guy most responsible for our tax rates and all the inane welfare programs?

I would.

 

I dont agree with his politics, but he stands up for what he belive's in, and i respect him for that.

 

 

i should have expanded upon my opinion that i'm not surprised that unfortunately, something bad happened to the guy......and that the family of Mary Jo Kopechne maaay disagree

 

My father was diagnosed with this exact same affliction, I'll never forget the day, Feb 17, 1988. He died in Nov of that year. Having watch his struggles thru those 9 months, my heart goes out to the Kennedy family. Although treatments have come a long way in 20 years, this type of cancer is aggressive and relentless.

 

I guess that's one way to get a career politician that is stuck in the 60's out of office...who's next??
