Love all the classy responses on this thread /sarc
Eh, Byrd’s a tough old sonofagun. It really is time for him to accept a well-deserved retirement back home to West Virginia, though. There’s a point at which it’s just pointless for him to still be in the Senate, as many votes as he’s missing and as sick as he’s been. And it’s not even a partisan thing—I thought the same thing about Strom Thurmond in his last term, and I’m a huge Strom fan. Like somebody upthread said, right now, West Virginia’s only got one Senator, it’s Byrd’s staffers and office people that are doing all his work.

Yeah, similar to those classy remarks made about the late, great Teddy Kennedy/sarc
