Crisis at the Capitol

So many people are talking about President Barack Obama's inauguration that happened yesterday. However, probably just as many people are also talking about Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy's seizure. While inside the closed doors of a post-inaugural luncheon, Sen. Kennedy collapsed and had a seizure. He was rushed to the hospital and was kept overnight. Thankfully, he is doing well and is resting.

As I was informed by one of my professors yesterday, there weren't any reporters inside the luncheon. However, they knew that something was happening. When the doors were finally unlocked and people were coming out of the room, they were bombarded by reporters, wanting to know what happened. Although they were looking for the answers, those who were present for the luncheon hesitated to give any information. They knew that something happened and the reporters wanted to know all of the details, but they also knew that it wasn't their place to give that information. Kudos to everyone who cooperated and let a spokesperson for Sen. Kennedy do their job.
