So wait, hang on... which county is Kennedy's tumor winning, again, and why does Hillary want to avoid it?  *For those of you watching CNN*

Um... I think its in Suffolk Co, Massachusetts.  Looks like we'll get back to Kentucky here after the break. 

Sorry if what I said seemed in poor taste, but I think the fact that they were reporting on the tumor with graphs and highlighting areas "we want to avoid" was somewhat satirical... or farcical... I really can't tell... I'm not sure if the comedy is the result of them taking something serious and making it practically a joke, or whether it is because they took something and made their reporting of it seem very serious.  Eitherway, it was in poor taste... or at least just plain bizarre.

Chris, that's total rubbish. It was in excellent taste.

It's good taste to hang up Kennedy's diagnosis and treat it like election returns, highlighting how "we want to avoid this area here," and, "well, Kennedy is going to want a non-surgical treatment it the tumor is here, because that's the speech and motor skill center of the brain... and for a man so dependent on those things..." well, are you suggesting that other people need to be able to walk and talk less than Kennedy?  I didn't quite understand what he was going for there, other than to put in some filler while the plugged an advertisement for their "GE technology" which they said about four times.  It was very strange, very crass, and just bad in general.

And my comment was, in know way meant to be a joke about Kennedy, I wouldn't do that.  I was mocking the coverage.

Hahaha. Rudy Giuliani is making a big comeback. He's almost getting more votes than he got in South Carolina ... Tongue

As a Republican I'm less worried about that than I am about the fact that McCain only slightly out performed Hillary in spite of having the thing locked up.
