Byrd: Rename health care bill for Kennedy
Ailing Senator Robert Byrd, one of only two to have served longer than Kennedy, suggests in an emotional statement renaming the pending health care legislation for the late Massachusetts Senator:

In his honor and as a tribute to his commitment to his ideals, let us stop the shouting and name calling and have a civilized debate on health care reform which I hope, when legislation has been signed into law, will bear his name for his commitment to insuring the health of every American.
What the heck -- let's name the bill after him, so that at least his family will have that memory, should it fail. The latest numbers have something like 23% of voters liking/strongly liking the idea... about the final approval rating the Clinton health initiative achieved before being given up as a lost cause.
