We’re now learning that Ted Kennedy’s seizures from the other day were caused by a malignant brain tumor, and the outlook for the senior senator from Massachusetts isn’t very good.

The news story:
Sen. Ted Kennedy was taken to a Boston hospital after spending an hour Saturday morning in a Cape Cod emergency room, FOX News confirms.
The Massachusetts senator’s medical condition is unknown, but he was experiencing stroke-like symptoms, according to published reports.
Kennedy was first taken to the Cape Cod Hospital emergency room at about 9 a.m., hospital spokesman David Reilly told FOXNews.com. He was airlifted out after an hour, reportedly to Massachusetts General Hospital.
Our prayer here at Blogs for Victory is that Senator Kennedy is back soon causing us as much trouble as he can.
UPDATE: They sure are talking in the MSM as if they expect Senator Kennedy’s death.
UPDATE: It now appears that, while serious, it isn’t immediately life threatening.

The news:
ABC News’ Rick Klein Reports: Senator Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., will endorse Barack Obama’s presidential bid on Monday in Washington, a source close to Kennedy tells ABC News.
The endorsement gives Obama a boost in the eyes of the Washington establishment, and comes after some prominent Democrats criticized Senator Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and former president Bill Clinton for their campaign tactics before Obama’s landslide victory in South Carolina.
Question: does gaining the endorsement of a bloated, old-line liberal help or hinder Obama?
UPDATE: Scott Ott over at Scrappleface - “In Drive to Bridge Generations, Kennedy Backs Obama“

Does anyone really want to read Kennedy’s memoirs?
Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the most prominent surviving member of the Kennedy family, has agreed to sell his memoirs for an advance of more than $8 million, people with knowledge of the negotiations say.
After a six-day auction that concluded Nov. 19, Twelve, an imprint of Grand Central Publishing, bought world rights for the autobiography. Before the deal can be completed, Mr. Kennedy must clear his publishing contract with the Senate Ethics Committee.
Jonathan Karp, publisher and editor in chief of Twelve, said he hoped to publish the book in the fall of 2010. Mr. Kennedy is “walking, talking history,” Mr. Karp said, “and there’s no limit to what he can talk about with authority and distinctive personal perspective.”
With authority? Perhaps - but we won’t get honesty, and anyone who expects Ted Kennedy to tell the truth about his life just hasn’t been paying attention to Ted for the past 40 years.
$8 million for a bit of fluff which will likely be mostly ghost written and won’t add an iota to the practical knowledge of the human race…
