Please Keep Sen. Kennedy in your Prayers and Thoughts

by JDF, Tue May 20, 2008 at 01:19:05 PM EST

I was just on CNN.com and it has been announced that Sen. Kennedy is suffering from a brain tumor that was discovered after his seizure this weekend. I have no more information than this but I feel it is important that we all take a moment to reflect on this true progressive and to keep him in our prayer and thoughts.

I, for one, am truly shaken by this news. I am a young man so it may be strange that I share such an affinity and connection to this man and his family, but I do.

So please, share some kind words for this Lion of Liberalism and stop for a moment and reflect on what he has done for our party and our country. Thank you.

I hope it's benign and easily treatable.

Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital say the 76-year-old has a malignant tumor.

As long as it is not GBM (glioblastoma multiforme)... other forms of malignant tumors can be treated somewhat successfully !!

Damn. (none / 0)

Awful news.  He's been a liberal senator almost as long as I've been alive.  What will we do if he's gone from the Congress?

Governor Patrick (none / 0)

has a multitude of good Massachusetts progressives to put in that seat, but his shoes would be impossible to fill.

Does the Governor still appoint Senators in Massachusetts? I know there was a move to change that to prevent Mitt Romney from appointing a Republican to replace Kerry if he had won in 2004.

just curious, I don't want to insinuate, you know, knocking on wood
