I am from West Virginia and I am ashamed of Sen. Byrds performance in the past few years and i think he shouldn't run for re-election in 2012. I think if West Virginians would pay attenetion to things like this, they wouldn't vote for him. I think he is a liberal representing a conservative state, only getting by with the name "Byrd". Same thng goes to Sen. Rockefeller. Both should step down. Byrd has been in the senate for almost 50 years. Rockefeller has been in for over 20 years.

Um... You're going a little overboard.Chill, and go with your liberal self.And back to the original question, yes... enact term limits, as well as driver licenses!Older people (over 80), especially on meds, should not drive.......or be 4th in line for the Presidency.Sorry, pal...But if this video doesn't prove this... you're an idiot!... amazing! whew! wake up!

Strom Thurmond, my ass! I've never even been to West Virginia, and I am still a huge fan of Senator Byrd. He has served longer in the Senate and cast more votes than any other senator in American history. What really touches me is that, two years ago, when his term was up, his wife had recently died, and he was approaching age 90. Yet, he ran for an unprecedented ninth term in the Senate because he wanted to serve West Virginians. God bless you, Senator Byrd! God bless you!

Do you think we should enact term limits?

NutJunkies (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)

sick?...sorry, but it's time to step down.he's no Strom Thurmond.

I understand about his age and everything, but it's obvious he was just suffering from a bad cold here. Senators shouldn't attend sessions if they're sick.
