BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN) — Sen. Edward Kennedy apparently suffered a seizure Saturday morning before being rushed to the hospital, a statement from his family said. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Saturday he spoke to the wife of the Massachussetts Democrat, Vicki, and that she told him that her husband is going to be fine. “Everyone knows he is a strong fighter,” Reid said, speaking at the Nevada state Democratic Party convention. Later Saturday, a spokesman for Kennedy said the senator was conscious, laughing and joking with family members and watching a Boston Red Sox baseball game on television. |
