Mr. Byrd's 45 years in the Senate make him the second longest serving of the 1,875 senators in history, behind only the 47½ years of the late Sen. Strom Thurmond, South Carolina Republican. Mr. Stevens' 35 years rank him 20th The length of time these 2 old fools have benefited at the expense of taxpayers is a solid reason for TERM LIMITS.
