Senator Kennedy collapses at Senate Inaugural lunch (president, Byrd, Obama)

[minibrings]

I just heard on the news and do not see it reported yet.
Has anyone else heard that Senator Kennedy collapsed at the Senate Inaugural lunch? I know he has been battling cancer. Whatever his politics, as someone that has been impacted by cancer, I wish him speedy recovery if this is true..

PS I also heard Senator Byrd was taken as well..

[ottomobeale]

BOTH? That would be a very wierd coincidence. Nothing yet.

Cant stand either of them but I dont wish them dead. I save that for Bin Laden and his cohorts.

I heard Byrd was just upset as Ted is a close friend so they wanted to check on him.. but latest is definitely Ted Kennedy had to be removed from the luncheon.

I just posted the same time as you did. I just heard it when President Obama said something and didn't know what he was talking about

[minibrings]

Latest news he had a seizure. And Byrd was so upset that he had to be taken out in a wheelchair.

[arctichomesteader]

Well it's to be expected, he is going to die sooner or later, inevitably, because of the type of cancer he has.

[Whyte Byrd]

Well, he said he'd be at the inauguration and he made it. He's a determined and strong man, regardless of what you think of his politics.

He had to be taken on a wheelchair in convulsions.

I guess the other senator had a issue with eating before Kennedy had his issue. They say it was a convulsion.
