Kennedy and Byrd stricken at Obama lunch
Politico ^ | Jan 20, 2009 | Glen Thrush

Posted on 01/20/2009 11:57:06 AM PST by Squidpup

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?

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.

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.

I sure hope the hospital bed Byrd is going to has clean white sheets.

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.
