Senator Kennedy Diagnosed with Brian Cancer…Possibly Inoperable

Of course, the Neocon Express wishes Senator Kennedy strength at this difficult time and will be praying for his recovery. Being in my mid 40's I have no recollection of the political world in which Senator Kennedy was not present. I had the opportunity to meet Senator Kennedy and his wife Victoria at a private home in Los Angeles in the mid-90’s, and though we were only able to chat for a short while, he was kind enough to follow up a few weeks later with a personal hand-written note referring to our conversation. Needless to say, that impressed me greatly. That he would take a moment to write a few kind words to someone whom he knew did not share his political inclinations is telling indeed.

On the political side of things, I shudder to think of the kinds of ugly words that would be uttered on left-leaning blogs like the Daily Kos or Huffington Post, should such terrible news had happened to say…Dick Cheney? Again, I wish Senator Kennedy a quick and full recovery.
