CBK Hospitalized

Governor Ed Rendell says Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll is in a Baltimore hospital getting intensive treatment for cancer.Knoll has been in the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center for about two weeks, but there is no prognosis, Rendell says. He says Knoll's doctors feel that the hospital is the best setting for her to get the kind of treatment she needs.

Knoll revealed in August that she had been diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer in early July and that she had been undergoing radiation and chemotherapy treatments.

She returned to Harrisburg to preside over the Senate on the first day of the fall legislative session. Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati presided over the chamber for the rest of the session. Under the state constitution, if Knoll is unable to complete her term, Scarnati would become lieutenant governor.

Is this what you knew and wouldn't tell anybody about?

I didn't say I knew. I said I had an idea. It wasn't hard to figure out.
