Can’t blame him for getting choked up about his buddy Ted’s likely impending death.

Think of all the Senators this codger has already outlived.

[TNdandelion]

Beautiful. A Klansman invoking the name of God on behalf of a murderer....all on the Senate floor. rofl

This former KKK bum is a prime reason for term and age limits for US politicians. The jerk comes across as a blithering idiot.

[Oldexpat]

The Rats will keep Kennedy in the Senate just as long as they can..just like this old coot Byrd. They will stick a broom stick up him and pretend he is still alive.
We will be well rid of these two old crooks.

There should be mandatory retirement from all government offices at age 75.

I wholeheartedly agree. Half of the senate has mental illness.

So, y’all think Ronald Reagan shouldn’t have been President, then.

Reagan's 2nd term was noticably weaker than his first. We all know why and it was indeed age related.

He’s one sick cookie.

[bvw]

He's "devout", eh? A devout melodramaticist, yes! So many years of training on the stage of the Senate.

Was there any honest feeling in that solo bravissimo piece of performance art? How would the Dear Man from West Virginia even be able to tell, to know his own feelings?

[Inwoodian]

What a waste of oxygen. I wonder if he wept for Mary Joe Kopechne.
