by Deb Cupples | Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA), the second most senior member of the U.S. Senate, had a seizure of some sort this morning and was taken to two Massachusetts hospitals. The Boston Globe reports that he may have had a stroke.
In October 2007, Sen. Kennedy had surgery to unblock an artery, presumably to reduce the chances of a stroke. Kennedy is 76 years old. We wish him a speedy and full recovery. Memeorandum has commentary.
Update: good news -- Sen. Kennedy's doctor said that Kennedy did not suffer a stroke (AP).
It's been reported that he has a brain tumor. No word on his prognosis.
