Dodd Is Released From N.Y. Hospital
2009-08-17
Connecticut Sen. Christopher Dodd has been released from the hospital after undergoing surgery for prostate cancer.

A statement from his office said the 65-year-old was released Saturday from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Dodd spokesman Bryan DeAngelis said the senator is recovering well and is home in East Haddam with his family.

The five-term Democrat announced last month that he had been diagnosed with an early, treatable stage of cancer. He expects to return to a full Senate schedule later this month. Dodd has said that the cancer will not affect his plans to seek a sixth term next year. He is chairman of the Senate banking committee and is playing a leading role in the effort to overhaul the nation's health care system.

#6  Pity Dodd didn't have nationalized health care so he could flip a coin as to whether he lived or died.

#5  Oh the poor guy! We should obviously stop badgering him about his loans, his sweetheart deal on an Irish cottage, his donations from the outfits he was supposed to be overseeing, his tertiary syphyllis... OK I made the last one up.... I think..

#2  One must wonder if he stayed in a VIP suite at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Of course if he did, he would have had no personal knowledge of his opulent surroundings.
