Yes, heard the same on CNN. Was hoping someone would post it. Thanks. I put it on a FR thread, but don’t know how to post an article.

Pro-Abortion, bogus “defender of the Constitution.”

Fraud, wheeler-dealer, public menace, raider of the Treasury, king of pork, gasbag.

But, nil nisi bonum and all that.

He had the sheet pull over his head one last time.

May God have mercy on his soul, and perpetual light shine on him.

BTW: To those who say we should be respectful of the dead, I say: Not those who have murdered millions of babies, shredded the Constitution, and stolen trillions of dollars. I would no more think of saying nice things about Kennedy, or Byrd, than I would think it my duty to think of something nice to say about Mao, Stalin, Hitler, or Pol Pot. Democrats are not part of the American body politic. They are alien combatants.

We should pray for the dead, no matter how evil.

But it is not healthy for the country to show them respect.

When tyrants tremble in their fear
And hear their death knell ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near
How can I keep from singing?

I like that. What is it from?

“Only dead men and fools never change their mind”

Robert Byrd stated, in defending a challenge to the 1st amendment and changing his vote in favor of the Constitution.

I was amazed he actually ran for re-election the last time.
If he leaves one legacy it should be a maximum age to run for election to the House and Senate, say 75-80???

I did not agree with his politics at all, but I respected his knowledge, and his oratory skills.

He will be a saint before the dems are done with his funeral. His face will be on a 3 bit coin.

Knowledge of what?
Senate rules he invented?
Oratory skills?
To ramble endlessly about his dog while he filibustered civil rights?
Come on!

And a fat porker will be on the reverse.
