Senator Thurmond, who has been frail for some time, seemed especially so today.
Senator Thurmond said with genuine outrage, as if the question was suddenly being asked for the first time.
The issue was who would speak after Senator Thurmond was finished.
"Today our national debt exceeds $2 trillion," Senator Thurmond said.
My own associate on Senator Thurmond's committee left the office also.
"I don't have any meeting later today with Senator Thurmond," he replied with a straight face, moving on to the next question.
Senator Thurmond says he feels like a "million dollars" but would vote for term limits without compunction.
But its prompt passage hasn't so high a priority for them that they are likely to give way completely to Senator Thurmond.
Senator Thurmond, who turns 94 years old in December, will be 100 if he serves out his new term.
Now, out of respect and sympathy for Senator Thurmond, it is being reconsidered.
