the last day john was on the senate floor, what was he fighting to do? he was fighting to restore what you call regular order. just have to treat one another again, like we used to. senate was never perfect, john, you know that. we were there a long time together. i watched teddy kennedy and james easton fight like hell on capitol hill then go to lunch together. john wanted to see, quote, regular order at large. get to know one another. you know, john and i were both amused and i think lindsey was at one of these events where john and i received two prestigious awards where the last year i was vice president and won immediately after.
