Is that what he was going on about? I couldn’t understand a damn word he was saying. I don’t understand Babblese.

Fox showed some of this pathetic performance. Really, if this is the best hat WV can contribute to the US Senate, they’d be better off sending Sheets Byrd’s little dog Billy...whom he also has cried over on the Senate floor.
There should be mandatory retirement from all government offices at age 75.

S’funny. I don’t recall the Grand Kleegle emoting about his fellow former racist Lester Maddox or about Trent Lott. I guess he saves his acting for influential Dimocrat bags of gas.

I’m sorry for Mr. Byrd’s obvious pain for his friend; I’m also sorry he’s using it to denigrate the hard work and amazing accomplishments of our military under such incredibly difficult circumstances.

To Senator Byrd, I quote Oliver Cromwell in his address to the British Parliament.
"You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go."

I have the feeling that should Senator Kennedy pass away, his funeral will be the Paul Wellstone Memorial II. Hope he does well physically (and retires, naturally).

I saw this ridiculous scene on FOX. This is the most compelling performance I've ever seen that clearly justifies term limits. Byrd has been senile for the past twenty years.

The Founders screwed up real bad not writing term limits into the Constitution.

While I will not speak ill of this mentally deranged individual, I can’t wait until he is no longer able to fulfill his Senatorial duties and is gone from Congress.

By the end of 2008, the war in Iraq will have cost over $608 billion. And that's almost as much as Byrd managed to divert to pothole repair and pork projects in WV. He doesn't want to be outspent.

Sen. Robert Byrd ... Speaking from a wheelchair in only his second speech since falling in February at his Virginia home and suffering other health setbacks, ...
Time wounds all heels. Not even the worst of circumstances lasts forever.
The question is, can conservatives capitalize on the coming changes.

My home state Senior Senator was Strom Thurmond who also stayed in a little too long for my taste. His only true embarassment was when he dyed his hair bright orange. He did, however have a staff full of conservatives who kept him on the right track until leaving the Senate.
His replacement, however, was Lindsey Graham, who, although much younger, embarrasses himself with his positions almost everyday.
