Kennedy Ruins Inaugural Luncheon
Brain cancer survivor Ted Kennedy ruined Barack Obama's inaugural luncheon by suffering a seizure. Reports say John Kerry's wife Teresa Heinz Kerry administered care to Teddy until the medics arrived...and he didn't want her to stop. But seriously...this is obviously not the first luncheon Teddy has ruined like this. In fact he's famous for it. Normally it's just him being toasted in the middle of the day, but this time, it was really serious. On a semi-related note...just moments before Kennedy's collapse, 134-year-old West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd was wheeled out of the luncheon hall with "eating problems." The old Klansman couldn't get his food down knowing a black man was president, is what it was.
