The Lion of the Senate

Live Blog: The Inauguration of Barack Obama - The Caucus Blog - NYTimes.com:

"Senator Edward M. Kennedy suffered convulsions at the Inaugural Luncheon and was taken from Statuary Hall in a wheel chair that had been lowered to a reclining position.

There was no immediate word on his condition but President Obama, getting up to speak, seemed slightly shaken."


This would be an incredible blow on an otherwise happy and exciting day for the Republic, but...it would be a fitting passing of the torch from the old liberal ideal to the new liberal ideal...provided that President Obama embraces a liberal ideal.
