1. WHY are you asking that? I haven't heard anything. n/t

[MasonJar]

2. Why did you ask this? He just won re-election.

5. Byrd is giving a speech on the Senate floor right now

Talking about how old he is

[MiniMe]

3. I am wondering what he is getting to also

[CatholicEdHead]

4. He eventually will, he is getting old

But I know of no immediate plans.

6. Byrd on Senate floor--I'm really really old.

I'm going to quit watching. Let me know what happens.

[MonkeyFunk]

7. I'm wondering, too

Hopefully it's just one of his creative speeches.

8. I know what you mean...

I'm listening and wondering where he's going with this.

9. Pehaps in 2013 when his term expires

[Seedersandleechers]

10. Basicly he is saying his mind is fine but his tongue is slow

and he shakes..Hang in there Senator....

[Roxy66]

11. Well..I guess not. "Until this old body ..just drops"!

[MiniMe]

12. Ah, he just said he is going to continue to work until his body drops on the Senate Floor

And he doesn't expect it to be any time soon

[MonkeyFunk]

13. hehe

good for him.

[seemunkee]

16. even then he will probably invoke a parlimentary procedure to block its removal

[MiniMe]

17. HeHe, good one.

Byrd is one tough bird!

[in_cog_ni_to]

14. No. He's responding to an AP article about how old he is. It pissed him off.

This is just his response to what they wrote. No one can say the man doesn't still have all his mental faculties.:)
