MORGANTOWN, W.Va. The nation's longest-serving U.S. senator tells candidates John McCain and Barack Obama that to be the great president America needs they need to be what George W. Bush was not.
Be humble, honest and contemplative, Sen. Robert C. Byrd writes in his latest book, "Letter to a New President: Commonsense Lessons for Our Next Leader."
Seek dissenting opinions. Reject the politics of fear. Admit and learn from your mistakes, the 90-year-old West Virginia Democrat advises.
Byrd has long been a critic of the president, and his latest book offers a scathing assessment of Bush: a "son of privilege and dynasty who had defined himself as the president of only that fraction of the country which shared his world view."
But with Bush's departure comes opportunity, says the senator who has served under 11 presidents, including his favorite, Harry Truman. The book, released June 28 with little fanfare, is intended to be read by Bush's successor on inauguration day, Jan. 20.

This slur from a Klansman kleegle.
The Democrats embrace a culture of corruption.
Byrd poop: Byrd’s the worst Senator ever!
A.P. for some reason dredges it up from the benthos after 8 weeks
“ah..go change you Depends old man.”
and ask your doc for a new anti-senility script, Byrd-s###-for-brians, because the one you are using is NOT working.
Senator Robert Byrd:
Worst senator ever!
STE=Q
I think it means trailer trash. And I still cannot believe he continued to be a Senator... If you or I said the N word... we would be thrown in prison for hate speech...
Given that Jefferson Davis was president during Byrd’s childhood he’s probably just confused again.

he stays in office because he’s related to 60% of the people in his state.
“The book released June 28 with little fanfare...”. Indeed, lol!! I can just picture a “Byrd” book signing: what few people, if any, who would show up would have to immediately wipe the drool off their books, which probably will sell less than Pelosi’s book. What a loser!!! The both of them!
“You really need to move LBJ up that list several notches.”
No kidding. And I’m sure I’ll get flamed by the hagiolaters out there, but Abraham Lincoln is largely viewed as being the prime mover in the destruction of the United States as a Constitutional Republic. His virtual nullification of the Constitution is unparalleled in United States history. Lincoln was a tyrant in the truest sense of the word. But, since the victors write the histories, he has been elevated to sainthood.
He bought those titles with your money.
Byrd must be too senile to remember double digit Jimmy. But since Jimmy ran for governor of Georgia on a segregationist platform, he and Byrd might be buds.
He should know. He was born before dirt and saw all 43 of them.
