This doesn’t really have much to do with John McCain or the Presidential campaign but Senator Ted Kennedy, who suffered several seizures over the weekend, has been diagnosed with a malginant brain tumor.
“Doctors for the Massachusetts Democrat say tests conducted after Kennedy suffered a seizure this weekend show a tumor in his left parietal lobe. Preliminary results from a biopsy of the brain identified the cause of the seizure as a malignant glioma.”
A lot of people make jokes about Kennedy’s drinking, or some of his embarrassing verbal botches (who can forget “Mark McGweer and Sammy Sooser”?) — but when a guy sees his only two brothers fall dead to assassins’ bullets within a five-year period, I think it’s okay to cut him a little slack. Kennedy was also responsible for the unfortunate death of a campaign aide in 1969, and he was nearly killed in a 1964 plane crash.
