AP is reporting on John Warner's trip to the hospital today:

Warner, 81, has suffered atrial fibrillation, which can cause an irregular heartbeat, since last fall, his office said. On Monday, he "consulted with the capitol physician, completed his office appointments and left for a scheduled admission to Inova Fairfax Hospital, where he remains for observation," the office said in a statement Tuesday.

Thankfully, it sounds like this was a precautionary measure, rather than a sudden visit due to an attack.  Get well soon, Senator.

Everybody likes that guy. (thegools - 2/26/2008 6:43:49 PM)
I sure hope he is better soon.  I don't like seeing this sort of thing happen.  

May he live to the happy and healthy age of 105 (and beyond).



He's worked long and hard (DanG - 2/26/2008 8:00:04 PM)
He deserves to have a nice, long, happy retirement.

all of those folks he decided were worthy of American torture.


The man's in the hospital (DanG - 2/27/2008 3:26:58 AM)
Show some respect.


Curious (Sui Juris - 2/27/2008 10:21:02 AM)
definition of respect, there.  Perhaps you meant to say "Hey, don't inject any reality into my little moment of hero worship?"
