Senator Ted Kennedy has been released from the Washington Hospital Center Wednesday morning after suffering a seizure during an Inauguration luncheon with President Barack Obama and fellow members of Congress.

Kennedy's office confirmed to the Associated Press that he left the hospital, where he had been resting overnight for observation.

A spokesperson for the Massachusetts Democrat said he was in good spirits and that doctors are urging Kennedy -- known for his long work days -- to get some rest.

Kennedy, who has been under treatment for brain cancer since May, suffered the seizure Tuesday due to fatigue, doctors claim.

Paramedics rushed to the Capitol building, where the lunch was held shortly after Obama's swearing-in ceremony, and took Kennedy, 76, away on a stretcher. ABC News reported that the senator's seizures lasted several minutes, and continued as he was being taken out.

Kennedy had a seizure in September and was released after a brief hospital stay in Massachusetts.

    Oh forget the damn hooker. It's because he's a Kennedy that the tighty righties keep bringing the whore up. Ted has served this country well as has his whole family. Move On Losers.

    With all the media support having been taken from Cheney and the Republicans, there probably was not one available for him to help carry the load....Most of all the hired help had been employed to take care of helping the new president carry his ego to his new residence....
