Hey, John Kerry was at MGH (I think he just left, but he might still be there), and he asked me to post this statement on Senator Kennedy’s medical situation.
Here’s the statement for now:
“Ted Kennedy is beloved and respected on both sides of the aisle in the Senate in which he’s been a giant for close to half a century, a legend in Massachusetts, and a dear friend to me and Teresa. He’s also been a fighter who has overcome adversity again and again with courage, grit, and determination. Teresa and I are praying for Teddy, Vicki and all of his family and we know that everyone in Massachusetts and people throughout the nation pray for a full and speedy recovery for a man whose life’s work has touched millions upon millions of lives.”
note: I’m John Kerry’s Internet Director
update: I should add … if John Kerry can stop by with any update, he’ll drop it into comments. If I find out anything I can add here, I’ll update the diary. Thanks.
I do wish Ted well! But having Live Shot responding to the hospital would cause any patient concern.
<
p>I thought John and Mrs. Heinz were in sunny Davos, Switzerland, on Lake Geneva. True to form, they probably sent a box of rich Godiva chocolates. But maybe the doctor wouldn’t think that was a good idea?
<
p>Note to File: Kerry wants to be the senior senator.
<
p>Again, Get well Ted! We all want Live Shot to be disappointed on this one.
<
p>
But in all honesty- you’re simply a terrible writer and painfully unfunny.
<
p>Davos, Godiva Chocolates, Live Shot– have a little pride, man, and don’t just recycle one of Howie Carr’s recycled articles. Come up with something original, some material that doesn’t make me wonder if you’re the one who had a stroke or seizure.
<
p>Did I mention you’re a terrible writer and painfully unfunny? Just want to make sure I made that clear.
<
p>I will start by saying again, “my thoughts and prayers are with Senator Kennedy.” I hope Ted makes a full and speedy recovery!
<
p>I try to be a good writer, but obviously you find me lacking. That’s okay though, because I am just trying. Maybe I will never meet the standard you set?
<
p>Regarding the use of recycled material. I don’t know where to start or how much time you have. I only hope John is sincere. I was at the state convention when he was firstassistant district attorney in Middlesex County and sought the nomination for lieutenant governor.
<
p>There have been questions about his motives even bofore taht. He swept into that convention like a rock star. I wonder if he has ever been real?
<
p>On being “painfully unfunny,” that is your opinion and I would likely never be able to alter that. So I won’t try.
<
p>No I don’t think I’ve suffered siezures or a stroke, but maybe my blood grain barrier is challenged.
<
p>I will conclude by saying that I sincerely hope Ted is well and makes a speedy recovery. He is a great advocate for us. His recent legislation prohibiting descrimination by use of genetic testing is true twenty-first century civil rights legislation.
<
p>We need Ted Kennedy! The highest honor is to tell someone that they mke a difference. Ted makes a difference!
<
p>Thank you, Masshole, for providing me the opportunity to potificate. I do try.

I don’t find Howie Carr funny either. However, I do see the entertainment in his wrting though.

Peabody specializes in comments that attract zeros — as a quick check of his/her comment history will affirm.
confirm, not affirm
Well, you’ve called me out. So I won’t bore you with “recycled” Howie Carr material.
<
p>Ask John Kerry about the time Middlesex County District Attorney John Droney, who was dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease, hired Kerry as his first assistant district attorney, as a “trusted” lieutenant. Did the “trusted” lieutenant derserve the trust or did he sugest that he would be a perfect fit if the powers-that-be should get his boss to step out?
<
p>That is trust! Maybe some people never change?
