Is Sen. Byrd (Sheets) scheduled to speak? He's always entertaining.

I second the nomination! The ByrdMan is often good for a few laughs. And Corzine is putting me to sleep.

If this were the actual filibuster Corzine would have handed off to someone else instead of a quorum call. Looks like he requested time from the Chair this morning to speak on what I am not sure except I kept hearing Budget!

But when Sen. Byrd speaks I need a translator. I can't make any sense of the point he's trying to make.

Anybody on here understand what he says when he talks???? If someone would offer to tranlate his ramblings, I'd listen.
