A spokeswoman for Sen. Edward Kennedy says he is conscious and talking to family after he suffered a seizure in his Cape Cod home and was flown to a Boston hospital.
The 76-year-old Massachusetts Democrat fell ill at his home Saturday morning and was rushed to a local hospital. He later was flown to Massachusetts General Hospital to determine the cause of the seizure.
His wife, children and niece Caroline Kennedy are among those with him at the hospital.

--------------You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much? Read this:
Boy am I confused. I have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us.
I now find that to be RIDICULOUS.
I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them. I have included the URL's for verification of all the following facts.
1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year.

10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US

11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin and marijuana, crossed into the U. S from the Southern border.

The total cost is a whopping $ 338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. Are we THAT stupid?
Surely Ole' Ted wants to live to see Obama win the presidency.
Sure hope he resigns. One of the biggest disgraces in the US Senate is that a murderer, and philanderer is one of its longest serving members.
I feel the same way about George W. Bush. He is a murderer and a thief, he tortures people and lies. He should resign.
On the topic of illegal aliens, that Bush supports. My wife works at a place that employs illegal aliens. The scam is they use a fake SS card to get hired, and they claim a bunch of dependents so no taxes are taken out. Then they have another ID they use at hospitals and social services where they get free benefits.
Recently one illegal making $15 an hour with no kids was getting free hospital and medical because he used his real name for medical treatment and told them he was making below minimum wage.
This stuff has to stop. We need an honest president and honest congressmen. Even if we don't agree they should at least be truthful. Both parties are shafting us on this.
The same problems carry over to local government.
Sounds like your wife needs to call the sheriff and file a report. By not doing it is the same as saying it must be OK. So where's the difference?
Sheriff won't or can't do crap in that county and there are 20-30 of them pulling similar things. It's just how they work our system. Then they spit out a baby here and it is a citizen. Washington lets it happen.
That liberal jerk needs to bite the dust
He aint died yet?......damn!
No, hopefully he will have a slow painfull death that he deserves after thinking he is above all of us little people ,because he is of course a "KENNEDY and a SENATOR" Does anybody think he ever regrets leaving that woman to drown.
What is the difference in these two besides the money amount?

I really like it when folks leave real references to their 'facts'. What is your reference, 11:25, for stating George Bush is FOR illegal immigrants sponging off this country? Be specific, please.
Wow, I hope all you feel good about yourseoves making these nasty comments! 18 minutes ago on Yahoo news:
Sen. Edward Kennedy has malignant brain tumor
BOSTON - A cancerous brain tumor caused the seizure Sen. Edward M. Kennedy suffered over the weekend, doctors said Tuesday in a grim diagnosis for one of American politics' most enduring figures. "He remains in good spirits and full of energy," the doctors for the 76-year-old Massachusetts Democrat said in a statement.
I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
We are so sorry to hear that,that,that his head didnt just pop like an overfilled waterballoon. death to him!
You ain't right!
wow great quote from one of his doctors. They forgot to mention what kind of irresponsible coward he was on the night a father and mother lost their daughter .yep great man sometimes things even out over time
My Daddy always said, "What ever you put out comes back to you multiplied."
Some folks call it karma I think.
Wonder what Mary Jo Kopechne's family thinks of this...?
You reap what you sew, more than you sew, later than you sew.
Good Bye! No loss!
Is he still hanging in there?.......damn his soul!!!

Those Mexicans that guy keeps whining about only cost us
$338 billion a year.
Mexicans are a whole lot cheaper than George W. Bush. I think we should keep the Mexicans and send Bush to Mexico. It would be cheaper.
