CNN says Byrd collapsed at Lunch today

Fox was it was Teddy Kennedy.

Whoever it is got hauled out on a stretcher.

Both

It doesn't look good for Teddy. Apparently he had some pretty bad convulsions.

Sen. Ted Kennedy suffered a seizure and was taken away by emergency medical personnel during President Obama's celebratory inaugural luncheon on Tuesday.

A Republican House leadership member told FOX News that Kennedy had a seizure at the end of the lunch, the seizure lasted a while. He was taken out on a wheelchair and had to have his legs lifted up to get him out of the room.

Oh f'n well.

He's in my prayers.

Maybe his neice can move to Massachusetts to get a Senate seat.

Really, I don't recall saying anything hurtful about Cheney. Although he is one of my least favorite people on the planet. Care to back that up?

...but you didn't jump on the people that did, like you did me. Double standards? I'm thinking hell yeah.

I dont read every comment on this board, nor do I have the time or interest to. Some of us have jobs and outside lives.

Acording to yahoo both Byrd and Kennedy collapsed.

Mach is right for once.

Well, we know Kennedy is in bad shape.
And I wonder, did Byrd's Klan past made today hard for him to handle?

Byrd's age is what made it difficult. The man is over 90...

You have ancient history on the brain. I find that hilarious in the face of this...

Quote:In the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's (NAACP) Congressional Report Card for the 108th Congress (spanning the 2003–2004 congressional session), Byrd was awarded with an approval rating of 100 percent for favoring the NAACP's position in all 33 bills presented to the United States Senate regarding issues of their concern. Only 16 other Senators of the same session matched this approval rating.
