Byrd, who is the longest-serving senator in history, voted during a 5:30 p.m. roll call Monday, then went home. Jacobs said the senator began to feel ill less than an hour later.

He was found to have a fever, and at his doctor's request he was taken to a nearby hospital.

Jacobs added that he didn't know which hospital Byrd was taken to.

Byrd was hospitalized March 5 for tests after a reaction to antibiotics. A week earlier he was hospitalized at Walter Reed Army Medical Center after a fall at home.

Last month, Byrd gave an emotional speech on the Senate floor after hearing the news that Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., had a malignant brain tumor. Kennedy, 76, underwent 3 1/2 hours of risky brain surgery at Duke University Medical Center on Monday, an operation his surgeon pronounced a success.

With all due respect to Mr. Byrd. He should be in an old folks home. The U.S. government is the only government I've ever heard of where we have so many senior citizens leading a nation. Any other job and most of them would have been laid off when they hit 65.

I wonder if he'll be using his old sheets or the hospitals.

Well that's great. It's about time you guys learned that you can see white sheets in the dark. Specially when you're walking around flaming crosses.
