Hmmmm... Looking at that list of symptoms, I'm more worried about our President than I am about Ted Kennedy.
Let's see... Right-left confusion, check (right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing, as evidenced by his own demonstration of same)... difficulty with writing... Well, I'm not sure he actually even knows how to write, but he sure as hell has difficulty READING and comprehending... Difficulty with math, check (16 trillion dollar debt is NOT a healthy and balanced economy)... difficulty with language, check (as witnessed by Bush's ongoing war with... words)... Inability to perceive objects normally... Well, is Iraq considered an "object", or simply an "objective"?
Yup, looks like li'l Bushie has a tumor of his own!

If the remove it I bet he wakes up a Republican. On General Hospital (the source for everything we really need to know about medicine) the brain tumer always causes a personality change. And I'd be willing to bet the next time we see him we'll all hear a little voice saying "the role of Ted Kennedy will now be played by..."

Trust me, he'll get better medical treatment than you or I could hope for...
As for waking up a Republican, the only way that happens is if they perform a "republicanectomy" on him, and remove his ethics, morals, and sense of humor while they're taking out the tumor.

They were talking about him on The News Hour tonight. The said he's one of the few poeple left in the Senate that has friends on both sides of the aisle.

Well, the dx is not a good one. I'm sure Bushies are secretly doing the happy dance.
THANKS for the rankings of who's the "most liberal". I was surprised to find anyone even close to Russ Feingold. Gonna get out my checkbook next time they run.

Anyone wanna bet that after being called on the "most liberal" thing, Rappy doesn't show in this thread again?

I don't know - sometimes even after you prove him wrong he comes back and says the same wrong thing all over again - like your post never happened ...

Too bad about Kennedy. I have no love for the guy, but brain cancer isn't any way for anyone to go out.
As for Obama being most liberal ... "National Journal" did actually select him as the most liberal Senator in 2007. That's the story that the other poster was likely referring to. However, NJ's selection methodology is suspect. On the other other hand, according to the same folks at National Journal, the Junior Senator from Illinois had been trending more & more liberal since coming to the Senate in 2005. You can check out their info here:
http://nj.nationaljournal.com/voteratings/
I'd also like to point out that in 2005 Senator Obama was actually voted most liberal by the same liberal groups that "mal4prez" quoted. Here's that info:
http://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2008/Senate/senator_ratings-2005.html
I don't see info for 2006, though. Anyhow, it seems that the lib groups have him moving towards the center. Preparing for his Presidential run? hhmmmmm...and after such a short time in the Senate.
It's really hard to tell exactly how liberal he is though, since he's only been in the Senate for 3 years. That's not much of a record. He has missed a tremendous number of votes, too - as a result of his campaigning.
Well, enough of that...here's to hoping Kennedy comes out of it. One to five years, eh? hmmm...
Let's be Bad Guys.

So you are saying that people with brain damage vote Republican? Are you sure you're not Rue?
