Byrd Taken to the Hospital

By on 9.22.09 @ 11:38AM

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.
