16. Story has been updated. Dingell is hospitalized and he is joking with staff

Dingell is hospitalized

The Detroit News / The Detroit News

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Rep. John Dingell, D-Dearborn, was admitted to Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland today.

"This afternoon, Congressman Dingell felt some discomfort and as a precautionary measure he was admitted to the hospital," press secretary Adam Benson said in an e-mail to reporters.

"The congressman is fully conscious and was joking with his staff from his cell phone while en route to the hospital. The congressman expects to be back to work for the people of Michigan in about a day or so."
