And watch Robert Byrd give a long speech about the fact that he is old.

If this post doesn't make sense now, surely someone will upload a video later and I'll link to it. It's... beautiful. In response to articles about how old (88) he is, Byrd is lecturing senators on how age should be respected. There was a great section on how "we see white hair on TV but it is often made up" but I may have dreamt that in a haze of giddyness.
