Senator Cory Booker got into some good trouble in the Senate yesterday, holding the floor for 25 hours and 5 minutes, breaking the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history. God bless him – and I say that as an atheist!
Chuck Berry recorded his song “Brown-Eyed Handsome Man” in 1957, the same year ardent segregationist Strom Thurmond set the previous record, which Booker broke today.
…and John Lewis.
