Listed below are links to weblogs that reference The News that Made Senators Cry:
I would not wish cancer on anyone even Ted Kennedy. What goes around comes around to all of us and I guess it is just coming around in a harsh way. But then, what's more harsh than death? I have never admired him, held him with esteem or trusted him on any issue. He is a big reason why I support Hillary.
To his family: God bless and keep you.

MarciaC - My heart also goes out to the Millions that died around the world because of Kennedy's and other libs failure to act or appeasements!!
The late failure to act in Iraq alone allowed 1,000,000 Iraqis to die at the hands of Hussein by his troops and/or WMD's!!

Sorry My heart too goes out to the victim of Ted that was left to die and to the other victims of the Kennedy family!!
Obama thinks as Ted as another mentor so how far outside of Washington is Obama really!!

This is not about the election.

Since Obama appears to call anyone who has been in Washington long (or longer than him) as being part of the old politics, does he view Ted Kennedy the same way?
Can anyone ask him?

Very moving to see the emotional impact Kennedy's illness had on his colleagues. He has been a towering figure in the Senate for more than a half century. It's also a reminder of the kind of sway he carries among the Dem Party establishment. You can see how he's had so much say over the years in determining who the Dem presidential nominee would be.

My heart goes out to the Kennedy Family. May my heartfelt prayers reach him and keep him strong throughout this battle that deep in my heart, I know he'll win because that's what he has always been...." A WINNER". My prayers go out to his wife and children.

My heart goes out to the thousands of parents who will never see sons and daughters again; the thousands of wives and husbands who will never seee spouses again, the thousands of children who will never see fathers and mothers again...the thousands, the thousands.

"Sorry, my heart goes out to Mary Jo and her family. as well as the rape victim and family of William Kennedy Smith"
My haert goes out to the families of the million Iraqis that died because of Bush's criminal war that he waged based on lies.
Ted Kennedy is the best senator ever. I am horrified that some person would use this to use the same old sorry ugliness that we have gotten used to from the snarling Republicans.
How sad that they feel it necessary at this moment to keep up the bad work.

Yeh, but he's on his way.....

My heart goes out to Senator Kennedy and his family. The Kennedy's have always been important in our family. My mom was crying over the news today, she still has the plate with both John F. and Bobby Kennedy's photo on it, that was really popular in the 60's.
My prayers are with the family
