Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) will return to Capitol Hill next week after being hospitalized because of severe back pains, his office announced Thursday.
Byrd, 90, has been hospitalized at Walter Reed Army Medical Center since Tuesday after sustaining a back injury from a fall at his Virginia home on Monday night. X-rays showed that Byrd suffered no broken bones from his fall, according to the senator’s spokesman, Jesse Jacobs.
Byrd will undergo physical therapy “to ensure he is steady on his feet when he returns to his Senate duties next week,” Jacobs said.
Byrd is the longest-serving senator in U.S. history and is third in the line of presidential succession. The senator, who chairs the powerful Appropriations Committee, is often seen walking around the Capitol with two canes and the help of aides, but still delivers rousing speeches on the floor and at committee proceedings.

That’s for whoever keyworded ‘senile’ in. ;-)
Too bad about his back. Maybe he should leave erecting the burning crosses to the younger Klan members.
I guess they’re “rousing speeches” as long as you ignore the fact that he doesn’t know the first thing he’s talking about.
wow! not even Satan wants him.
The oldest serving clansman in the Senate.
That Senator is WAY past his sell-by date. Besides, there isn't a square inch in West (by God) Virginia that doesn't have a federally-funded building or highway on it, named for Byrd. There's no more damage left that this gentleman can do to the federal budget.

Welcome back, senile old coot.
A TRUE LIBERAL, RACISTS, BIGOT FIGHTING FOR THE CAUSES OF THE OPPRESSED! The African American community overlooks him and others because they are democratic liberal skunks who are there with the handouts when they need there votes. A match made in heaven? HYPOCRITES ALL OF THEM!
He’s like the energizer bunny.
