WASHINGTON (May 17) - Sen. Edward M. Kennedy was hospitalized Saturday after becoming ill at his home, his office said. There was no immediate word on his condition.

A knowledgeable official said the Massachusetts Democrat was in the hospital after suffering stroke-like symptoms. The official declined to be identified by name, citing the sensitivity of the events.

Ted Kennedy is the last surviving son of a famed political family. His eldest brother, Joseph, was killed in a World War II airplane crash. President John Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 and his brother Robert was assassinated in 1968.

Kennedy spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter confirmed in a statement that Kennedy went to Cape Cod Hospital on Saturday morning "after feeling ill at his home." After discussion with his doctors in Boston, Kennedy was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital for further examination.

"He is currently under evaluation that information will be released as it becomes available," she said.

Hyannis Fire Lt. Bill Rex told The Associated Press that a 911 call came in from the Kennedy family compound at 8:19 a.m. A man was transported to Cape Cod Hospital and transferred by air at 10:10 a.m. from Barnstable Municipal Airport to Massachusetts General.

David Reilly, a spokesman for Cape Cod Hospital, said that Kennedy was brought to the hospital at about 9 a.m. and stayed for about an hour before being flown by helicopter to the Boston hospital. He said he could not comment on Kennedy's condition or treatment because of medical privacy laws.

Why does this family live in a COMPOUND? Most millionaires prefer the word ESTATE. I know I do.

What are they? Branch Davidians? Why not take a que from Hitler and call it a BUNKER?

FYI: Compounds are used for housing large wild animals... also known as zoos.

News reporting that he has an aggressive, malignant brain tumor. Not good.

BLACK6PACK · 05-20-2008, 01:45 PM

I thought we called them "wives" for short?

Phatman · 05-20-2008, 06:51 PM

I wonder if they waited 10 or 11 hours before they called for help??
Maybe that's just for outsiders?

Old Buzzard · 05-21-2008, 06:44 AM

I wonder what Nancy, Harry, and the rest of the dumocrats will do, now that the mouthpiece is out of the picture???
