Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy, a noted Washington Liberal and ladykiller has been hospitalized in Boston with “symptoms of a stroke.” Kennedy underwent surgery last year to clear his carotid artery in hopes of preventing exactly this situation. It’s not too much of a stretch to assume that the Senator’s arteries are clogged as a result of his decades of overeating and heavy drinking. Though the hospital is releasing little information, this is probably a serious health scare since the media’s is in full Deathwatch mode, and because Kennedy became ill at his family’s Hyannisport compound this morning and appears to have been airlifted to Boston for treatment rather than being taken to a local hospital. Also, the dude is like 80 years old. Join us in the comments below to trade rumors, wild speculation, and Kennedy memories.
