Chief Justice Roberts Hospitalized After a Fall

The Chief Justice took a fall at his vacation home in Maine:

WASHINGTON - Chief Justice John Roberts was hospitalized Monday after falling while on vacation in Maine, the Supreme Court told NBC News.

Roberts, 52, fell at his summer home off Port Clyde and the court said he was taken to a hospital as a precaution.

The nation's top judge was fully awake and coherent both at his home and later at the hospital, the court said.

I'll bet the vitriolic comments are flying at the far left websites.
UPDATE: Like this despicable comment from Wonkette (h/t The Corner):

UPDATED story - Roberts suffered a seizure:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Chief Justice John Roberts suffered a seizure at his summer home in Maine on Monday, causing a fall that resulted in minor scrapes, Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said.

He will remain in a hospital in Maine overnight.

Roberts, 52, was taken by ambulance to the Penobscot Bay Medical Center, where he underwent a "thorough neurological evaluation, which revealed no cause for concern," Arberg said in a statement.

Roberts had a similar episode in 1993, she said.

The incident occurred around 2 p.m. EDT on a dock near the home in Port Clyde on Maine's Hupper Island. Port Clyde, which is part of the town of St. George, is about 90 miles by car northeast of Portland, midway up the coast of Maine.

Roberts was taken by private boat to the mainland and then transferred to an ambulance, St. George Fire Chief Tim Polky said.

"He was conscious and alert when they put him in the rescue (vehicle)," Polky said. The hospital, in Rockport, did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press.

The ambulance crew described the Chief's condition as follows:

The patient was ashen and was foaming at the mouth.

Sounds to me like the Chief had an attack of liberalism.
