What is wrong with Ted Kennedy's face? Anyone got a picture of the

[CTyankee]

horrible red blotches I saw on his face just yesterday? It looked so bad I got concerned that he is either drinking heavily again or has some awful skin condition.

4. As people age -

especially people like Kennedy and myself - who spent as much time as we possibly could outdoors at the seashore (and elsewhere) - pay the price with different types of skin damage. Even folks who spent more time in the shade will have capillaries break down & other age-related blotches. It's just what happens. Golden Years - blech.

5. it appears that

he could possibly have shingles. I don't know just guessing.

6. he is irish

needs to be careful when he goes out in the sun. he should try to avoid it as much as he can and when he does go out put on a hat. and of course sunscreen.

7. Yes, I'm of Welsh and Scottish descent and I don't go out into the sun at all.

A hat and sunscreen at all times for me. Too much Celt in my lineage to take any chances!
