Looks like the Massachusetts Senator is making a good recovery following his treatment for cancer. He is even planning his return to the Senate.

The office of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) announced yesterday that he will not return to the Capitol this month and will remain in Massachusetts recuperating from brain surgery.

The announcement marked a change in plans for Kennedy; his aides and colleagues had said throughout the summer that he would return this week as Congress reconvened after a five-week recess and headed into a final legislative sprint before the November elections.

Kennedy aides said that the radiation and chemotherapy treatments at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston are progressing but that doctors recommended he delay returning to Washington.

And frankly, this Republican is happy to hear the news. As I have said several times since the Senator took ill, my feelings towards the Senator as a politician and as a human being diverge -- and that this political news seems to indicate good news about his health makes me quite happy.

And maybe, just maybe, it signals that we will also have Bob Novak around a while longer, too.
