The American Spectator : AmSpecBlog : Byrd Taken to the Hospital

The Largest Selection of Liberal-baiting Merchandise on the Net!

Multiple news outlets are reporting that West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd has been rushed to the hospital this morning. Byrd is 91 and already spent time in the hospital earlier this year for infections, so his health is very precarious.

I'll update this post if more information on his condition comes out.

UPDATE:

Marc Ambinder tweets that Byrd's office says that he is fine, that it was only a case of a little postural hypertension, and that he will be released from the hospital soon.

He brought his own sheets to the hospital.

I'm glad I wasn't drinking when I read this.
Thanks for the laugh!

Yes but he then threw 2 of them to the wind.

For somebody as frail as he is, yeah he has to have someone wipe his rear after sitting on the commode, a little postural hypotension can be fatal.
I respect his office but not him: after all he was a grand poobah of the KKK for many decades. Remember?
