Thanks for the ping, howlin. I've been watching the coverage on and off and can't help but think what long days Mrs. Ford has had with several more ahead of her. The night time coverage is especially solemn.

Frist was a lousy senator, but if I was in trouble medically, I would want him on the case!

William Broomfield collapsed. He was a Congressman from Oakland County in Michigan. I remember him well watching CSPAN votes. He was always sitting in the front row of the House chatting with colleagues. He seemed to enjoy the conviviality.
