No doubt there are vile Ted Kennedy jokes going around certain right-wing circles, but the most tasteless stuff I have seen was on The Huffington Post, that queen of liberal nu-media. This morning, accompanying a news story about Kennedy, was a Post feature entitled “Brain tumors: Who’s had them, What the symptoms are, and What the X-rays look like (VIDEO)”. The caps are theirs, not mine. The piece then listed, with morbid glee, celebs who had survived a cerebral tumor, and celebs who had died from one. Informative and touching.

Arianna Huffington’s Post often has this sort of thing: it is like People Magazine with the blogosphere thrown in. (In fairness, the site does have the odd good story, as Kelley shows below.)
