Reporters at the event said Byrd looked, ‘white as a ghost,’ until they realized he was wearing a sheet over his head.

[null and void]

Yeah. I should be ashamed of myself.

(How about a trifecta?)

[Revolting cat!]

They usually go out in threes, don’t they?

[irishtenor]

Byrd - “We elected a WHAT????????”

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

I hear it's Byrd, Kennedy, and a waitress in the Senate cafeteria. /s

[null and void]

You are 12 seconds late...

[Homer1]

Byrd, Kennedy...it’s so hard to tell them apart.

Just count the number of sheets and check to see if they are to the wind....

[ontap]

Anyone check Harry Reid’s pulse?

[maggief]

Can you correct the title of the thread.

Byrd, Kennedy Leave Lunch for Medical Reasons

Early reports say that Sens. Byrd and Kennedy left the Obama Congressional luncheon for medical reasons.

Before being taken from the room, Kennedy had begun shaking and convulsing, according to Senate staffer in the luncheon, and appeared to be having a seizure.

Carter at the same table too by chance?

Caroline gets one vote, and even that is now a sympathy vote.
(Sorry, I have to get this stuff out before someone actually dies and I can’t speak ill of them.)

[uglybiker]

Separately, I think we could do without the Klan references today that are coming from some quarters. We know Bird and Kennedy have dark pasts - this is not the day to dwell on it.

Bears repeating.

[Deo volente]

Sen. Hatch speaking to the cameras right now, saying Sen. Kennedy didn’t look too bad when he was being placed in the ambulance, said he thinks he’ll be OK.

[jeepers creepers]

“Must. Not. Say. It.”

Biting. My. Tongue.

[oldvike]

I shouldn't laugh, but I did. You're bad!

If you’re referring to the so-called “Civil Rights Bill of 1964”, one of the most Socialistic Bills ever passed, the best Senator we have ever had in the history of Texas, John Tower, Republican, filibustered against it along with most other Southerners.
