LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the sister of President John F. Kennedy and founder of the Special Olympics, has been hospitalized at the UCLA Medical Center after suffering a minor stroke, the hospital said Monday.

Shriver, 84, entered the hospital Saturday, and also is being treated for a stress fracture of the left hip.

"Doctors anticipate a short hospital stay," UCLA Medical Center said in a statement.

A hospital spokesman declined further comment.

Shriver is the mother of California's first lady, Maria Shriver, the wife of Robert Sargent Shriver, the first director of the U.S. Peace Corps, and the sister of Sen. Ted Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat....

1. Maria stands by her man

A Republican. She'll go visit her mother in a few weeks, or months, or whatever.

2. Maria does stand by her man...

but she is also very close to her mother. I wish them well.

5. Her man is a DISGRACE to that family's legacy. n.t

[radio4progressives]

7. Maria is also a disgrace to the legacy...

but then Eunice didn't help matters when she supported Aaarrrnold during his campaign and of course after he hijacked California.

I'm afraid I don't have much in the way of "fond memories" for either mother or daughter.

8. Speedy recovery for her ~ hope her Kennedy side

is restored.

My mother would turn heaven and hell for me but she would not support me for the Groper.

3. I'll lite a candle for her and the family.

4. I wish her well

and a speedy recovery, but I lost a lot of respect for both of them when they appeared with the gropenfuhrer while campaigning.

6. I Agree!!!! nt
