New Hope For Kennedy Following Surgery
WASHINGTON (AFP) — Veteran Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy underwent surgery Friday to unblock his carotid artery, his office said.
The blockage was picked up during a routine examination of Kennedy's back and spine, and the procedure, carried out in Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston was preventative and non-invasive, a Kennedy aide said.
Kennedy, 75, will have a "very brief" recovery period before returning to work, his office said in a statement.
Carotid arteries are located in the neck and carry blood to the brain."
Doctors didn't say how long he had been suffering from the occlusion, but we all wish Senator Kennedy a very speedy full recovery and hopefully improved blood flow to the brain.

Although after looking at it closer, I'm wondering if blocked carotid arteries might be an epidemic in Washington?
Sincere Best Wishes to Senator Kennedy and family... all kidding aside.

I wish Ted Kennedy would go away, but I too wish him well. I don't like the guy and would love it if he retired, but I don't want anything bad to happen to him or his family.
And what about...
Robert kkk Byrd, San-Fran-Nan, John "I accidentally misplaced my Vietnam war medals at a Vietnam anti-war protest" Kerry, jack "Murdering Marines" Murtha, Harry, "the war is lost" Reid and last but not least... Governor Brad "free healthcare for illegals" (without public approval) Henry?
Should they "go away" too or just Teddy?
