Just caught this on the tube.  I wouldn't wish a stroke on anyone.

I despise Kennedy for several reasons but with the exception of few individuals I would never wish ill on another man.

yeah i have called him many bad names on this board (including murderer) but i am always sad to hear news like this.

to be honest i feel more for his family...this kind of shit can be devestating on so many levels, especially if he loses function as a result of this (not that i am guessing at the outcome -- i dont know what if anything has been reported about this, just saw the headline on cnn and the post here)

having been around some stroke victims they dont seem to have any idea the kind of shit their in (sometimes literally), but the wife of 50 yrs who is now unrecognized and has to either wipe him, hire someone to do so, or put him in a home --  that's the really brutal part

I heard "stroke-like symptoms" so who knows if he is as seriously jacked up as we have been led to think.

Despite his politics he was amusing to watch.   And by all accounts he is a nice guy to have around.

Well that would depend on the circumstances. Dark, stormy night...driving along...coming up toward a bridge....no thanks.  Grin

we're talking about ted fucking kennedy not spinning off into tear jerk over the consequences of stroke in general.  ted kennedy is a piece of shit and if he has a stroke so be it, don't expect me to join in some jerry's kids style weep-a-thon for teddy its not my fault if the chick can't swim kennedy.  yes as matter of fact it is apples and oranges and i would expect a fruit of your magnitude to know the difference!
