Sen. Byrd Hospitalized


June 02, 2008 9:50 PM

ABC's Z. Byron Wolf reports: On the same day the second longest sitting senator had brain surgery, the longest sitting senator was hospitalized with a fever.

Ninety-year-old Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., was hosp More..italized tonight after staffers noticed he was lethargic at work and a caregiver discovered he had a high temperature.

He is remaining overnight on the advice of his doctor, according to his spokesman, Jesse Jacobs, who said he was unsure which hospital his boss was at.

It is unclear at this point if the hospitalization is anything more than precautionary.

Byrd, who has had a spate of health problems recently -- he fell and also had a bad reaction to antibiotics, both of which led to hospital stays earlier this year.

And he has been seen on the Senate floor giving speeches from a wheelchair of late.

But today he was at work and was the lone Democrat to join 13 Republicans in opposing a motion to consider a bill that would cap the amount of greenhouse gas U.S. companies can unleash.

Ever the representative of his coal-mining state and still the husband of a coal miner's daughter even though his wife Erma died in March of 2006 after 69 years of marriage, Byrd is very protective of the coal industry.

Rumblings from earlier in the year that he might be too infirmto maintain his chairmanship of the Appropriations Committee seemed to have quieted recently.
