Kennedy Wheeled Out of Capitol

CNN reported that Kennedy was still suffering the seizure when he was taken to another room in the Capitol. The Associated Press is reporting that Kennedy has been wheeled out of the Capitol on a stretcher.

MSNBC is reporting that several senators prayed for Kennedy after the seizure and showed footage of several escorting him to the ambulance. - Boston.com

Got to hope for the best.

Did you know?

38 years ago, Edward "Ted" Kennedy didn't save a drowning woman by the name of Mary Jo Kopechne. Kennedy, who drove off a bridge and into a pond with Kopechne after a party, waited until his BAC level was back in the normal range before calling for help. Irony, huh? Kennedy with an array of political connections was able to escape without any criminal punishment. The death of Kopechne was ruled an accidental drowning.

Kennedy is a staunch advocate of abortion and gay marriage. His influence has remained steady in Massachusetts despite the drowning scandal, which is known as the Chappaquiddick incident. Because of his support on the issue, he is not in good standing with his Church.

Ah, that is, ah, all I have in, ah, terms of speaking about Ted, ah, Kennedy.

Random, yes? I don't have a book next to me called "How to talk to a Liberal (if you have to)" next to me for nothing.
