This was from yesterday, but I liked what Palin said:

UPDATE: Here’s a very poignant message from the man about his own life:

“I’ve had the good fortune to spend 60 years in service to this wondrous land,” he said. “It has not been perfect service, to be sure, and there were probably times when the country might have benefited from a little less of my help.

“But I’ve tried to deserve the privilege as best I can, and I’ve been repaid a thousand times over with adventures, with good company, and with the satisfaction of serving something more important than myself, of being a bit player in the extraordinary story of America,” he said. “And I am so very grateful.”

UPDATE: I was alerted to this bizarre coincidence from a commentor:

That is really remarkable. There’s another historical anomaly like this one in U.S. history. Making this even more odd.

Rest in peace, Senator.
