Rep. Joseph P. Addabbo (D-N.Y.), who returned to Congress in December after successfully fighting a serious kidney ailment, collapsed while attending a luncheon honoring one of his House colleagues. Addabbo, 60, was taken to Washington’s Georgetown University Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition in the intensive care unit, according to hospital spokesman Tim Sites. “It was some sort of cardiac abnormality,” said Sites, “but of what kind has not been determined yet.”
