Lautenberg's 9,000th Vote

by: Rosi Efthim

Fri Dec 02, 2011 at 03:19:20 PM EST



He's the Senate's oldest: 87.  
Two years ago, he broke the record for votes cast by a Jersey Senator: 8,375.
Since then, he's had stomach cancer and chemotherapy.
He came back from that.
Now, he's cast his 9,000th vote, in the affirmative for the 2012 defense authorization bill, an occasion marked on the Senate floor by a retrospective of his achievements from Harry Reid, and a quick assent from Mitch McConnell for the Republicans.

Thought you might like to see it. If you're wondering who hollers out, Aw-right Frank! (3:32 mark), that's none other than neighbor senator Chuck Schumer.
