All the news channels are reporting on the story that Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy has been hospitalized with “stroke like” symptoms. CNN reports:

Kennedy was transferred to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston for evaluation after initial treatment at Cape Cod Hospital, a statement from his office said.

The senator spent less than an hour in the Cape Cod facility, hospital spokesman David Reilly said.

Massachusetts General said it had no information on Kennedy.

A well-informed Democratic source in Massachusetts said the 76-year-old senator had “symptoms of a stroke” at the Kennedy family compound in Hyannis Port.

An official with the Hyannis Fire Department said it received a 911 call from the Kennedy compound at 8:19 a.m. and transported a patient to the hospital, arriving at 8:50 a.m. The official would not be more specific.

FOX News television is reporting that a statement will be issued soon.

Macranger puts it well, “Politics is one thing, humanity another.”

My thoughts are with the Senator and his family.

FOX News TV: AP is reporting that, according to a spokesperson, he has suffered a seizure rather than a stroke as reported earlier.
