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.

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

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