A man at his age falling is never a good thing.
He won’t let the Dems replace him though, he’s a tough old man.

[a fall at his home, his spokesman said.]

If that had happened to happened to Bush, the media would be saying it is suspected he was drunk at the time.

The honorary Robert Byrd slippery floor. Touched by his greatness. Yuck, I have to go wash myself off now.

Byrd will float the rumor that he was chasing a 19 year old female intern around his house.

Meaning no disrespect, there should be some mechanism for retiring a Senator who cannot physically meet the (very limited) challenge of the office.

Last week I watched a clip of Byrd blathering incoherently, possibly drunk or medicated.

Another recent clip showed him sound asleep directly behind another Senator who was speeking at the time.

Get well, but get gone. Please.

Is the Governor in his state a good Republican?

No, he is Tim Kaine, a commie rat, aka Gov. Eyebrows. He gave the rebuttal to the President's SOTU in 2006 having just been sworn in.

Man you are soooo right. Time for the old geezer to retire and enjoy the few remaining years of his life (or less)
away from the clamor of Washington, DC.

It is only the fact that the fall happened during the rise of Obama which makes it noteworthy.

(Cue Rod Serling...)

Cheers!

...oh, and prayers up. The guy's a dork and a pork specialist, but we should still pray for him.

not good, any fall for a person 20 years younger than him can be the beginning of a slow spiral down.

The end-phase of natural human life is so damn depressing.

Prayers for him and his family. Not my favorite senator, but nevertheless, prayers are called for at 90 years of age.
