Yea! He looked like he could use some backpacking. His face looked real fat last night. Maybe it was just the way he was sleeping.

That's pretty common Opie, not something unique to Mr Kennedy. A standard part of the retirement roast of our State officials is a picture of them sleeping during some legislative thing. And they all say they were just concentrating, just like Troll420 said!

However it's the ones who's heads loll back as they rip out snoring that are legendary!

During the Johnson years, House Speaker McCormick looked like he was dead or dying behind the president.

John John was married in the tiny chapel on Cumberland Island. I've kinda gotten to know the biologist that lives near the church - across the path, actually.

Anyhoo, she LOL'd (as I did too) as she was sharing her memories of watching the Kennedy's stumble around in the sand while wearing their spiked heels and wingtips.

They arrived on the surplus military deuce-and-a-half that the yaddayadda country club uses for island tours. Can you imagine a buncha gown and tux-clad Kennedy's riding up in the back of an Army truck? Then climbing down onto... dirt? Funny...

Has Saturday Night live or anyone else ever done a sketch about Bill Clinton and Teddy carousing?

Somebody has to do it. One title possibility is obvious: "Bill and Ted's excellent adventure."

If you think about it, Kennedy sleeping while Bush outlines his plan to take over the world is the perfect image for the Democratic Party.

Don't get to excited.
The frat, while social and part of the university greek system, was one that limited the membership to engineering and science students.

HYANNIS -- U.S. Senator Edward M. Kennedy was rushed by ambulance to Cape Cod Hospital this morning after falling ill at the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport.

Hyannis fire responded to the compound after a call was made around 8:30 a.m. It's unclear what Kennedy's medical condition is, but after he spent almost two hours in the emergency room a decision was made to transfer him to Mass General Hospital in Boston.

Kennedy, 76, was placed on a stretcher and wheeled out to the MedFlight helicopter around 10:15 a.m. where it took off from Barnstable Municipal Airport.

The Kennedy family is preparing to host the annual Best Buddies Challenge event in Hyannisport this afternoon, which is a fund-raiser for the organization. Best Buddies was founded by Anthony Kennedy Shriver and helps people with intellectual disabilities.

Hundreds are expected to participate in the event, which kicked off this morning with a 100-mile bicycle ride from the Kennedy Library in Boston to Hyannisport.

A concert at the Kennedy compound is scheduled for tonight.

Kennedy has represented Massachusetts in the United States Senate for forty-three years.

He was elected in 1962 to finish the final two years of the Senate term of his brother, Senator John F. Kennedy, who was elected president in 1960.

Since then, Kennedy has been re-elected to seven full terms, and is now the second most senior member of the Senate.

Maybe he's high on the rocks if the msm is spending this much coverage or maybe all the preachers are just on vacation.

That's too bad for him. I've cared for a few people who had cancer in the brain and it's not pretty but it is relatively quick. I don't wish that on anyone.

I remember that people were pretty caring toward you when you had your stroke, Stovey. Can't you even get a little above your petty politics and show a little compassion? You're really useless piece of #&%!$.
