Sen. Paul Sarbanes - who'll retire after the 2006 elections - fainted during the funeral of former representative Peter W. Rodino Jr.
Sarbanes, 72, was to be held overnight for observation at the University Hospital in Newark, but his press secretary described the incident as "a fainting spell" and said the senator was expected back in the chamber this morning in time for a scheduled voting session.

I hope he's allrigth because with the possible fillibustering showdown we'll need every single Dem vote...
Anyway my best wishes to Senator Sarbanes.
