Senator Strom Thurmond Turns 99 If there was any doubt that Sen. Strom Thurmond remained vigorous on his 99th birthday Wednesday, he sought to put it to rest.
``I love all of you men, but you women even more!'' he declared by way of a thank-you, after Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., offered congratulations from the well of the chamber. ``I appreciate every one of you, especially you ladies. You are good-looking, God bless you.''
