Senator Ted Stevens speaking.... He has made a couple of mistakes, and he really isn't a good speaker.

I hope Congressman Broomfield is OK. Poor fella. He used all his strength to come and pay respects to his old friend.

Count me in on a DC trip! :-)

I have to leave to watch. :-( Stevens is talking now, and they cleaned up the collapsed one...

For the most part she is; her faith is strong. She is very dignified.

And now she is receiving tribute also.

After his bridge to nowhere, I thought he needed to retire.

You should hear Stevens on the Senate Floor when he's ripping into someone .. he does the same thing, but he's fun to watch

Goodness, did Dole have a face-lift? His eyes barely closed when he blinked.

He needs to learn to slightly pause between sentences.

The poor chap's synapses aren't firing very well anymore. Stevens really does need to retire, for reasons that go beyond him being the king of earmarks.
