Article topics include: <ul> <li><a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D90Q9BQG0&amp;show_article=1" target="_blank">Boston contemplates life after Ted Kennedy</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10499.html" target="_blank">Many possible successors to Kennedy</a></li> <li> <a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jiUEPTNaZWIfz8G3G8qZF9wkFwswD90PPP880" target="_blank">A timeline of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's life</a></li> </ul> <p>The coverage makes me think media companies are rolling out their <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22757427" target="_blank">prefabricated eulogies</a> a little too soon. In fact, if someone wasn't paying close attention, they might assume the Senator already died! </p> <p>Are these reports an honor to Senator Kennedy, or disrespectful? Since he did just receive a very serious diagnosis, should the country take the opportunity to celebrate all of his achievements while he is still alive? Should the media adopt a more hopeful and positive outlook in order to support Kennedy's efforts to battle the tumor? </p> <p><a href="http://www.gettyimages.com" target="_blank">Source</a></p> http://www.tressugar.com/1651052#comment News Massachusetts Ted Kennedy Death Cancer Edward Kennedy Boston Brain Tumor Obituary Thu, 22 May 2008 00:00:27 -0700 LibertySugar http://www.tressugar.com/1651052 http://www.tressugar.com/946574 <a href="http://www.tressugar.com/946574"><img width=160 height=123 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl0/10/104169/02_2008/cryingclintons.large.jpg'></div></a><p>Last week, the press was definitely quick to write Hillary Clinton's political obituary following her disappointing third-place finish in Iowa.</p> <p><span class="inline left"></span></p> <p>After her display of emotion, but before her <a href="http://citizensugar.com/922212" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">comeback in New Hampshire</a>, Hillary <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Vote2008/story?id=4099840&amp;page=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">told</a> Diane Sawyer:</p> <blockquote><p>"You know for both Sen.
