Is it not ironic how all the dems were hoping that Strom or Jesse would pass on. Then "The piaps" also tried to push him over the edge before Joe Biden rescued him,and now they have "GERIATRIC PARK " Senators that they better watch verry carefully.

I know -- I watched most of the last Byrd "filibuster" , the one where he went a little "off" saying "pretty, pretty, pretty" -- the man did not seem rational at times -- I felt sorry for him, he was shaking really badly by the end, but ya' gotta admit, he's like the Energizer Bunny, keeps going and going -- he may have been on the floor for 5 or 6 hours today (I lost track, but every time I checked C-Span he was still talking)

I must say I am very and unexpectedly relieved that Strom didn't croak before he could be replaced by a pubbie in an election.
