Eunice Kennedy Shriver's relatives summoned to hospital
CNN ^ | August 10, 2009

Relatives of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, sister of President Kennedy, were summoned to a Massachusetts hospital Monday, a source close to the family told CNN.

"It's minute to minute right now," the source said.

Shriver, 88, founder of the Special Olympics, has been in the hospital for several days, her family said, and her relatives were summoned after she suffered a setback, the source said.

Some members of the family flew in to Cape Cod Hospital last week to be with Shriver, including her daughter, Maria Shriver, and her husband, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a source said earlier. She was in critical but stable condition then.

Ah.....Robert Novak. I always liked him. I quote him often:

I'm not a Republican, they are not conservative enough for me

Shriver will have a big, splashy, Kennedy Mafia funeral. Hundreds of pro-abortion “Catholics” will troop up to receive Communion in front of TV cameras, providing the pro-abortion American Catholic church another PR victory over the Roman Catholic Church.

Archbishop Sean O’Malley will be discovered the day after the funeral, sucking his thumb, curled up in a pantry in his residence.

Biting tongue. No comment.

All you have to remember is the "Special Olympics" and the joy and extreme happiness that it brings it's participants.

The only Kennedy who believed that Down Syndrome kids weren't abortion candidates.

You’re right. I was biting my tongue to avoid making a comment about how she would not have lasted this long under Obamacare.

As it turned out, others made those comments for you. Great minds think alike.

...I do admire her for one thing - starting Special Olympics.

Seems like an awful lot of money is raised for those events, and I wonder how all of it is spent. And they accomplish what that could not be accomplished is a much scaled down event?
