Former Kleagle Robert KKK Byrd Has Seizure
No, It Looks Like it Was Ted Kennedy, Though One Report Claims Both Men Had to Leave Luncheon with Medical Problems
Mystery Solved: Kennedy Collapsed, Byrd Left Because He Was So Upset
Rushed to hospital.
Dear Lord, are we going to get a facefull of "historical bookending" and "turning the racial page" if he dies.
Conflicting Report: Pool reporter says Byrd. Someone at the House says it was Ted Kennedy.
Either or-- bookend. If it's Kennedy, "passing of the torch of Camelot."
Both? Politico says both.
Obama says Kennedy, doesn't mention Byrd.
Thanks to DrewM. and Slublog for keeping tabs on this.
Personally, I'm looking forward to Obama resurrecting one or both, thus demonstrating his divinity.
CNN Blurb Says Kennedy. Again, looks like Kennedy is definite. Not sure the mention of Byrd was a pure mistake or if he collapsed too.
Thanks to Matt M. for that.
Final Update? Slublog writes--
ABC news just reported that Kennedy had a seizure and needed to be removed, and Byrd was so upset, he had to be removed.
