Time Magazine Online:

The two elderly Senators [were] removed from the post-inaugural lunch in Statuary Hall in the Capitol.

Observers say Kennedy, who is fighting brain cancer, appeared to experience a seizure.

President Obama: "Our prayers are with his family."

C&L sends both Senators our best wishes.

UPDATE: More from egregious at Firedoglake and Glenn Thrush at Politico.
