The Kleagle was born in November 1917. That means he would be 89 starting his next term, and 95 at the end of it.

He's 86.
I saw him on CSPAN the other day. His palsy shakes were almost uncontrollable. He's on his way to doddering. I don't know if he'll last until '06.
To: speedy
Why, who does he think he is? Strom Thurmond?

To: Clintonfatigued
I'm sure he'll have the Klan's support...and Jesse Jackson's.

Figures. He'll probably get 85% of the vote.

I watched Sheets question Paul Wolfowitz and team on the Senate Foreign Relations (?) Committee the other day. He was rambling on and on with boiler plate anti-Bush rhetoric, and P.W. was just sitting with his chin in his hand, obviously bored and wishing he were anywhere else but...

I think the GOP should make a concerted effort to make sure he doesn't return to the Senate. Robert Byrd is a disgrace to the Senate
