Byrd, Kennedy stricken at Obama luncheon
Two senators taken away from event for medical attention


Sens. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., and Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., were stricken Tuesday at an inauguration luncheon for President Barack Obama.

A Capitol police officer stood up at the luncheon and said medical attention was needed.

Kennedy collapsed and was wheeled out on a stretcher from the Capitol luncheon following the inauguration of the 44th president, NBC's Mike Viquiera said. Kennedy reportedly suffered convulsions.

The Massachusetts Democrat was hospitalized in May after suffering a seizure. He was later diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.

Gosh, guess it was just too much excitement. Hopefully he will recover.

Prayers up for he and his family. The commentators just pointed out in the photo collage how Kennedy was standing behind the Obamas smiling during the swearing in ceremony.

He seized. Hope all is better as it was reported that he was conscious and answering questions.

UP and active. But he needs to plan his exit fast.

I was trying to remember why I associated Byrd with racism. I did a google search. I did not know he was a member and recruiter for the KKK.
