Robert Byrd Tells Everyone To Shut Up

This one is even about committees...specifically the Senate Appropriations Committee, of which Robert Byrd is the chair. Byrd is 90 years old and the longest serving Senator in history, AND third in line to the presidency (and people think McCain is old). Anyway an interesting article about, well, certainly seniority if nothing else.
