Senator Edward Kennedy gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention in Denver on Monday night. Ted is suffering from brain cancer, yet he found the strength to speak.

Ted Kennedy was released from the hospital this morning. As much as most would like to remain optimistic, his malignant tumor will most likely kill him in the next 12 to 18 months.

Ted Kennedy was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital Saturday morning after being treated at the Cape Cod Hospital emergency room. Initially it seemed Kennedy had a stroke. Further tests revealed a malignant brain tumor. Doctors say the tumor, which is located in Kennedy’s left parietal lobe, had been causing him to have seizures.

The end of an era is drawing to a close.

Senator Edward Kennedy (Ted), who is 76 years-old, has been rushed to the hospital after suffering what appears to have been a stroke. He is currently at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston after being examined at a Cape Cod emergency room this morning.

In October, Kennedy underwent surgery to clear his carotid artery but recovered quickly.

A Massachusetts woman is suing the National Enquirer over a story claiming that she gave birth to Senator Edward Kennedy’s "love child" in 1984, and participated in a 20-year cover-up of the purported scandal. Caroline Bilodeau-Allen charges that "virtually every critical fact" in two 2006 stories is "false and defamatory," according to a lawsuit filed yesterday in U.S. District Court in Boston. She denies Enquirer claims that her son Christopher was fathered by the Democratic senator, and that the politician paid her at least $15,000 in hush money. Christopher, now 22, is also a plaintiff in the complaint, which names the tabloid’s corporate parent, American Media, and two reporters as defendants. The woman is asking for $75,000, which doesn’t seem like much. You can see the Kennedy story here and here.
