Sen. Kennedy collapses at Obama inaugural lunch
« on: January 20, 2009, 06:55:47 PM »


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy, who is battling brain cancer, was recovering at a Washington hospital on Tuesday after suffering a seizure at an inaugural lunch for President Barack Obama.

According to witnesses, Kennedy collapsed during the meal but recovered enough to smile and talk with his fellow lawmakers as his stretcher was wheeled to an ambulance and he was taken to Washington Hospital Center.

Testing suggested the seizure was "brought on by simple fatigue," said Dr. Edward Aulisi, the hospital's chairman of neurosurgery.

"Senator Kennedy is awake, talking with family and friends, and feeling well," Aulisi said in a statement.

Kennedy will be released in the morning, Aulisi said.

The collapse of one of the Senate's most respected Democrats cast a pall over the celebrations, but within an hour Obama was leading a parade down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House, and the Senate was confirming several of his Cabinet nominees.

I wonder if kennedy's health situation could put additional pressure on NY gov patterson (who, lets face it, doesn't look like he could stand very much pressure in the first place) to name caroline kennedy to hilllary clinton's seat.

Kennedy OK after Collapsing at Inaugural Luncheon
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, ill with a brain tumor, was hospitalized Tuesday but quickly reported feeling well after suffering a seizure at a post-inauguration luncheon for President Barack Obama. "After testing, we believe the incident was brought on by simple fatigue," Dr. Edward Aulisi, chairman of neurosurgery at Washington Hospital Center said in a statement released by the senator's office.

"He will remain ... overnight for observation, and will be released in the morning."

The statement said the 76-year-old senator "is awake, talking with family and friends, and feeling well."

The statement did not disclose the tests that were performed on Kennedy, whose seizure was witnessed by several fellow senators seated with him at lunch.

Sorry, I can't muster a whole lot of sympathy for another Kennedy... especially this one.  He's lived a far longer life than other, better people.

Sorry.

This was not the result of a medical condition.  It was a brief moment of clarity in which he realized what the dimocrat party has just done.   It caused a severe spastic episode...one we will all share repeatedly over the next 4 years.
