Senator Edward Kennedy, noted blue blood brother, passed away at home in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts late last night. He was 77. His family said, "We’ve lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism, and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever... He loved this country and devoted his life to serving it. He always believed that our best days were still ahead, but it’s hard to imagine any of them without him."

Senator Edward Kennedy had a seizure during today's Inaugural luncheon at the National Statuary Hall. (Leave it do a Kennedy to steal Obama's thunder! ) According to reports, Kennedy's seizure lasted several minutes and he had to be taken out via wheelchair. It was a "very tense moment." He has been whisked away to Boston for treatment. He was on an oxygen during his time in DC today. No word yet on his condition. But, you know, it's not good. Kennedy, if you recall, has been battling cancer and a tumor for the last year. UPDATE: Word now is Kennedy was "just exhausted." (Which... we guess means he was on too much disco dust at Club Hyde?) We're going to assume it was a seizure. Anyway, he is reportedly in "good condition."
