Ted Kennedy was taken out of the Statuary Hall luncheon after suffering an apparent seizure -- a few minutes after Sen. Robert Byrd was removed in his wheelchair under the supervision of medical personnel.
Byrd was conscious and had been having trouble eating, according to a witness.
Kennedy, who underwent brain cancer surgery last year, was taken to the Rayburn room. A police radio picked up a call for paramedics to help someone stricken with a seizure, according to Politico's Patrick Kennedy.

Kennedy wouldn’t have the audacity to die on ‘The One’s’ big day, would he?

Byrd was conscious and had been having trouble eating, according to a witness.
Should be:
Byrd was conscious and had been having trouble eating crow, according to a witness.
No wait... That should be:
Byrd was conscious and had been having trouble eating Jim Crow, according to a witness.

When first asked to be tasters for Obama, I would have thought Kennedy and Byrd were to smart to agree.

Mary Joe is waiting to deliver Kennedy to hell.
Blacks are waiting with a noose to send Byrd to hell.

These two have been hanging by a thread for some time now. I don’t wish ill on them, but they should have left the Senate long ago.

Its my sincere hope both recover from whatever is ailing them.
I want to destroy them politically, via debate and public voting. I don’t want either to suffer any physical harm, to do so would require becoming something I abhor.
A liberal.
