Senator Kennedy had seizure at inaugural lunch

CNN is reporting that Senator Ted Kennedy, who has been receiving treatment for brain cancer, collapsed during the inaugural luncheon.

Apparently, Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) had some medical issues, too.

Politico has more:

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.
