US Rep Dingell Hospitalized; Back To Work 'In A Day Or So'
"The Congressman was fully conscious and was joking with his staff from his cell phone while en route to the hospital," the statement said. Dingell expects to be back to work "in a day or so," he said.
Dingell, 82, recently lost a high-profile battle to retain his chairmanship of the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee to a fellow congressional giant, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif.
After leading Democrats on the committee for nearly three decades, Dingell last week lost a secret-ballot vote in the caucus against Waxman for the chairmanship.
