WASHINGTON - Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia was hospitalized Tuesday after complaining of back pain following a fall at his home, his spokesman said.
Byrd, 90, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee and the longest-serving senator in history, was staying overnight at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for observation, said spokesman Jesse Jacobs. It was not immediately clear whether he had suffered broken bones.
Jacobs said Byrd fell at his Virginia home Monday night. He came to his office Tuesday and was on the Senate floor to vote for an Indian health bill. But after noticing he was wincing in pain, Byrd's staff recommended that he see the Capitol physician, who "smartly for a 90-year-old man advised him to go to Walter Reed for observation."
Byrd, who as Senate president pro tempore is third in line to the presidency, walks haltingly with two canes. Due to his frail condition, some Senate Democrats reportedly explored ways to replace him as Appropriations chairman, but he continues to hold the post.
Perhaps this is a good time for Senator Byrd to retire.
Him and John Murtha
It's called a polling place or voting booth.
Yes, but six years is a long time, especially for 90 year-olds. I was, of course, referring to the period between elections. Sorry if I did not make that clear.

Byrd ‘feisty’ but still in hospital

Sen. Robert C. Byrd did not break any bones when he fell Monday night in his Virginia home, according to a spokesman.
The 90-year-old West Virginia Democrat, who is third in line of succession to the presidency and is the longest serving senator in U.S. history, stayed through the night Tuesday at Walter Reed Army Medical Center after complaining of back pains stemming from his fall.
X-rays taken at the hospital showed no signs of broken bones in his back, according to his spokesman, Jesse Jacobs.
The senator has not yet been discharged from the hospital, and medical personnel appear to be taking extra precautions because of his age and his leadership position as president pro tempore of the Senate, Jacobs said.
But Jacobs added that Byrd felt “feisty” this morning and “wondered who was looking after his dog.”
Byrd’s office has informed the office of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) that he will return to work soon, according to a Reid spokesman.
I’m not a big fan of his politics, but I’ll keep the Senator in my prayers.
Senator Byrd is human being, with a soul created in the image and likeness of God. We should wish for the best for that soul no matter the political differences or the sins of the past.

Open letter to the one with the daddy complex, It is fitting that those who remember this vile woman and her equally vile husband for what they did to the middle class of this country.

I wish him a speedy recovery.
However, the hospital staff should remind him that the bedsheets are not his to take with him, much as he might wish to convert them into regalia for night riding and cross burning.
“Caligula appointed his horse to the Roman Senate and it seems like that’s not a bad idea to me -—I mean four-legs have got to be more stable than two when it comes to standing and avoiding falls.”
At least the Romans got the entire horse.
Post #130 consists of excerpts from the tasteful and intellectual (yuk yuk yuk) Huffington Post.
I know the source is gutteresque. But it offers a just comparison on how identical incidents by elderly people (falls) are treated by liberals and conservatives.
On his sheets..
Sheet happens..
If blathering incoherently were a disqualification, the halls of Congress would be empty.
He insisted on clean white sheets.
I wish him a full recovery and an immediate retirement.
