Wasn’t Teddy responsible for some sort of mishap many years ago in which someone died? I could swear I heard that somewhere. I also heard that his first call was not to 911, but to his lawyer.

Makes me wonder who really wrote that letter the other day asking for a change in the law to allow the governor to appoint a successor

Great minds and all that rot. That is exactly the first thing that crossed my mind when I heard the news.

Having been around someone who passed of this type cancer, believe me it is not a case of being mobile and lucid one day, and 3 or 4 more days, you check out.

There is NO WAY, he was capable of having written that letter.

"I have occasionally watched Fox for an entire weekday. You would not know there’s a world of six billion people out there, in 170 or so countries. You would think there’s nothing happening in the world but a murder in Cleveland, a car chase in L.A., a celebrity overdose or fashion crime, and maybe a couple of press conferences in D.C."

Thank you! I thought I was the only one. As it stands, I really don't have anything to watch to actually get "news". FNC is like watching a video version of the NY Post "Page 6" during the day. If it wasn't for Cavuto, I'd get rid of cable altogether.

"CNN is reporting Nancy Reagan sent her condolences and praised him for his support of embryonic stem-cell research!!!"

Nancy, stick to the Ouija boards and seances.

Are you serious? You apparently missed Special Report. They’re all over the world every day.

What’s to say, especially at this hour?

Enjoy the silence .. by the time the morning shows hit the air we will be bombarded for days on end about every positive aspect of his life (the other aspects will be edited out) or put in as footnotes.

FNC is a 9-5 weekday network.

They save a lot of money that way.

Ted is dead?

Have the gates of hell already opened their maw for him to be recieved?

CNN got the jump on Fox in the endless Kennedy tributes we'll be forced to endure over the next week + and that's a bad thing?

Sorry, I don't agree.

CNN has just read the full statement of Sen Harry Reid proclaiming Ted K as a “patriot” and if it weren’t for Kennedy’s efforts millions would be without education etc etc etc!!! This is becoming beyond absurd. Not a single word about Mary jo Kopechne. These newscasts are looking idiotic by the second.

Wow...

Who would have ever thought a year ago, that a year later, Michael Jackson, Ted Kennedy, and Bob Novak would be dead, and those are just the ones I’m thinking of at the moment. I had a relative die over the weekend, and I’m sure she was a better person that all of them combined x100, and not a word was said about her in the media when she died.

I’ll hit on that —
Rahm E and Axelrod will definitely advise that O and Congress re-name the HealthCare Bill after Ted Kennedy.

Changes will be made to HR3200, V 27: alcoholism will receive full coverage and medical care with no co-pays.

Alcoholic wives of Alcoholic Senators will receive full medical benefits to include Federal sponsorship under HR=3200. They will receive no less that 4 gallons of hard alcohol, to include Gin, on a monthly basis.

If a shortage arises, they must file HR-TEDDY within 10 days of shortage and, upon such shortage, will receive a 3200 redeemable Voucher to cover the lapse in coverage.

Agree- although I wouldn’t put Novak in the same company of Ted K and MJ.

Maybe Juan McLame will switch his Party Affiliation to honor his good friend, Teddy “the swimmer” Kennedy.

Now I'm really bummed. Fox isn't running the rebroadcast of Glenn Beck, it's Kennedy time!

And yet, like a cockroach, Keith Richards is still alive - drinking, smoking and ingesting all manner of drug & poison.

They broke in about 5 minutes ago and covered it for about 45 seconds, good enough for me

EXACTAMUNDO!!!!

The Fat SWIMMER was not the Pope or President (though he thought he was a combination of both) and though a dignitary, should not rate (though sadly he will) 24/7 coverage for the next week, which will only make me turn off my TV.

Sen. Ted Kennedy is still dead. Doctors describe his condition as “stable”...

LOL!

Actually, I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did. His liver ought to go to some advanced research lab so they can figure out how it withstood all those decades of abuse from hard liquor consumption.
