Representative Waxman (D-CA) Hospitalized

The story:

Democratic Rep. Henry Waxman remained in the hospital in his home state of California on Wednesday, a day after fainting in his office.

Waxman, 69, was not feeling well Tuesday and was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for “routine testing,” spokeswoman Karen Lightfoot said.

In a brief update late in the day, Waxman’s staff disclosed that the congressman had fainted in his district office in California.

The obligatory joke: he fainted when he added up his grand-children’s share of the “Cap and Trade” bill…

That aside, we pray for Mr. Waxman’s speedy recovery.
