Sen. Kennedy’s Cancer in [apparently not in] Remission [see below]

May 19, 2009 By sco

A little more than one year after Senator Ted Kennedy was given 90 days to live, the Hill is now reporting that his brain cancer is in remission and he’ll be returning to Washington after the Memorial Day recess:

Sen. Edward Kennedy’s brain cancer is in remission, and the Massachusetts Democrat is expected back in the Senate after the Memorial Day recess, according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Reid (D-Nev.) said Tuesday that he spoke with Kennedy’s wife and was told the 77-year-old lawmaker will return to work  full time during the first week of June.

Wonderful news!

    I saw that as well. Not much details in the MSM, yet. Great news. Glad to have him back, and just in time.

    Harry Reid is apparently employing wishful thinking. MCRD related the news here in a comment, which I had to delete b/c it reposted the entire AP story. The relevant quote I put in the promotion comment above.

    p>Bleah.

      …MCRD actually had worthwhile information to contribute for once?!

    Having been far too exposed to cancer battles over the last 8 years, my thoughts and prayers for Ted and his family.  However, seeing outsiders (when you know the reality is far bleaker) throw out off the cuff comments that all is well only belittles the struggle that he is going through.

    <

    p>I’m certainly not a fan of Ted Kennedy, but I do respect what he is facing.  If you want to spin his battle into some sort of rallying cry for Health Care Reform, so be it, although I can’t help thinking back to the end of Steinbeck’s “In Dubious Battle”.  Respect his dignity.

Senator @ewarren announces her bid for a third term, launching a race much different from her prior two and after her unsuccessful bid for president. But the context of the moment plays to her strengths as a crusading consumer advocate. #mapoli https://www.wmasspi.com/2023/03/briefings-elizabeth-warren-rides-again-officially-now.html

Knowledge is power and the citizens have a right to know what the least transparent state legislature in the country is doing with their money. #AuditTheLegislature #mapoli

Can think of nothing more Chicago than covering a mayoral election on a 14-degree March day and I walk into a Mexican restaurant playing Uncle Buck

Tony - Resistance @TonyHussein4

For Rupert Murdoch, only the money matters. Fox "News" hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham, pushed election fraud claims, knowing they were untrue. Don't trust Rupert Murdoch's media empire, which includes the New York Post (NY Post), & The Wall Street Journal.

It doesn't explain why @realDonaldTrump deleted the post. Did @SeanHannity ask him why it was deleted and if he knows threatening DAs in NY state is a felony? #mapoli #nhpolitics

Trump: That was to baseball to promote made in America 
Hannity: Do you know how it was interpreted?
Trump: Well, because that’s the fake news media.
