#1 Still, he can deliver one of his legendary floor speeches on the sanctity of the Constitution and the importance of Congress in the operation of the U.S. government, even if he often repeats himself over and again.

A friend of mine who works on the Hill sez that he despises Byrd but would miss his annual stemwinder welcoming Spring.

#3 I think the Senate Democrats will compromise to placate the Exalted Cyclops. He'll give up the chairmanship, they'll agree to rename West Virginia Robert Byrd...

#5 Byrd's dog speech was a higlight of the Congressional Year. They should break it out when they want to increase the funding for Alzheimers research.

#6 "No Democratic senators or leadership aides would speak publicly about the situation, preferring to comment only anonymously..."

Reminiscent of Brutus and Casius.

#8 Term limits please. And make it retroactive to 50 years ago. Frigging senators and congressmen each think they are the pope, entitled to die in office.
