Breaking-Sen. Byrd Hospitalized
He had a fever. Felt lethargic. That's all for now.

2. Yes, me, too. I just picture how he was crying in the Senate about his friend Ted Kennedy, wishing
HIM well!

3. Heard this just now on MSNBC
The second Keith said, "This just in, Senator Robert Byrd..." I gasped and my heart sank. Here's hoping it's something minor and Byrd is back on his feet in no time. Be well, Senator!

5. Possible diagnosis
UTI (urinary tract infection)--number one cause of fever and associated lethargy in the very elderly. Though I hope it is something else less difficult.

7. geez
This congress has to be the most sick ever. There's been several deaths, illnesses, criminals, retirements, etc. Hopefully he'll be OK.
