John Warner hospitalized

WarnerSenator John Warner was hospitalized today with an irregular heartbeat, according to this report from The Richmond Times Dispatch.

Warner checked in with the Capitol physician’s office at mid-morning, returned to his office for additional meetings, then went in the afternoon to an appointment at Inova Fairfax Hospital, the statement said.

At the hospital, he had a procedure to correct atrial fibrillation, which is a problem with the speed or rhythm of the heartbeat. A second, routine procedure will be performed today, his office said.

WJLA in DC also has a report. Senator Warner is 80.

A former candidate, I've learned a lot about politics, both good and bad. I'd prefer more of the former and a lot less of the latter and I'm trying to do my part!

  3. Sounds like Mark Warner could be getting that seat a little earlier than I had expected.

  4. He’ll be fine — he was just having trouble coping with the idea that Elizabeth Taylor might get married again, but it has passed. :-)
