The AP has a story up about Chief Justice Rehnquist's hospitalization for thyroid cancer over the weekend.

Rehnquist underwent a tracheotomy at Bethesda Naval Hospital in suburban Maryland on Saturday, the court's announcement said. It added he expects to be back at work next week when the court will next be in session.

Here's the complete text of the Court's announcement. I really wouldn't have thought it possible that a person could undergo a tracheotomy and be back at work after eight days.

The election has finally begun to completely stress me out, but I can't help wondering if expediency would have buried his diagnosis until after the election, had he not needed an invasive medical procedure.

Best of luck to the dangerous old coot. 10:22AM «
