As a measure of the intensity of attention given to Daschle's remarks, check the video clip of his rant and the Senator just behind him to his right.

It looks like Byrd and, whoever it is, the guy is either taking a nap or reading a newspaper.

Speaking of Byrd.

Most afternoons when I get home, I check the cable channels for news.

Invariably CNN is covering Byrd's daily filibuster.

I mean this guy is on more often than Oprah!

If it's Byrd maybe he's checking his sheet to make sure it's ready to wear.
