Ailing Kennedy fading as top target for right wing

WASHINGTON - Republicans have raised many millions of dollars over the past three decades just invoking the name of Ted Kennedy.



Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., was their poster child for liberals, the quintessential Washington tax-and-spender, a left-wing caricature to his conservative detractors.

But branding someone a "Ted Kennedy liberal" is slowly fading from the political lexicon.

Even before the diagnosis last week that Kennedy, 76, had a malignant brain tumor, conservatives' darts were being redirected at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and the two Democrats vying for the Democratic nomination, Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.



As it should be let him die in peace

It would be in very bad taste to attack an ailing politician.

Kennedy returns to Cape Cod after brain surgery

BOSTON - Fresh from his hospitalization for an aggresive surgery on a cancerous brain tumor, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy announced it was "good to be home" at his family's Cape Cod compound Monday and headed out for a sail.







Kennedy left the Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., on Monday morning and arrived at his family's Hyannis Port compound just before noon. With his thick white hair visible beneath a beige, wide-brimmed hat, he told reporters he felt "good to be home, good to be here."
Within hours, he went out sailing with his wife, Vicki. It was the same homecoming routine he followed last month when he was released from a Boston hospital after being diagnosed with a malignant glioma, a lethal type of brain tumor. A malignant glioma is one of the worst kinds of brain cancer, and malignant gliomas are diagnosed in about 9,000 Americans a year.
