Tim Kaine is the Governor of VIRGINIA not West Virginia.

Get well soon, Senator.

[Randy Larsen]

Norm!

I’m sorry but it’s Time!

Time for this old codger to take a DIRT NAP!

I’m sorry!

Sorry I didn’t say it sooner!

Could have fallen after realizing Obama took this nomination for Hillary, but in any case being older is tough and getting hurt sucks.
Hope he recovers well and is OK.

[ari-freedom]

he is actually one of the more conservative democrats, especially on social issues.
but it is really really hard to be respectful of anyone, GOP or democrat, conservative or liberal, if he has KKK ties

[Seven Minute Maniac]

He’ll feel right at home in the hospital with all of those white sheets they have.

[null and void]

Now that’s funny...

At least nothing was filibusted.

Get well, Senator.

[RepublitarianRoger2]

I should say, *hopefully* nothing was. Guess it’s not 100% certain yet.

Pins.

She was in very poor health by that point in her life, so the doctors were afraid that she might not recover from a full hip replacement.

She recovered from the operation and lived for another five years before passing away from complications to Parkinson's.

I vote for retirement//

I wonder if KKK-Byrd slipped up on a patch of that dreaded Black Ice?

[The Ghost of Rudy McRomney]

LOL!!!!! :^D

Every time I watch this man speak, I am awestruck. Revulsion at beliefs, but admiration for his will to continue on. I’ve watched as his aides have helped him put his mic on because his hands were shaking. Watched as the page turns became more frequent because the words had to be printed so large. He is one of the last old-time orators.

It is past time for him to step down. Maybe this will convince him, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him back.

Prayers up, Senator, for a full recovery.

Wow, thanks for that link. How absolutely sickening... our tax dollars at work! (in West Virginia)

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

To go from KKK to the moonbat fringe of the current Demon-crat party. The man knows how to pick a good thing... / sarcasm off

Hope for his family and for him all goes well. Even the likes of him deserve not to suffer.

"Yeah, man...$35.6 million..."

Sickening.

My grandmother broke her hip after a fall and she never really recovered.

Same with my grandmother. She had shown signs of Alzheimer's for several years, but after her surgery she entered a very steep decline. Traumatic pain, pain medications, and especially general anaesthesia in someone that old often cause damage that isn't immediately obvious.
