"Byrd was a racist 50 years ago under the guise of leading the Dixiecrats and he's a non-reformed Dixiecrat today."

I would love to see this on billboards all over the country!

In regards to Senator Byrd: You can take the boy out of the Klan, but you can't take the Klan out of the boy.

Robert "Sheets" Byrd is a racist? I thought he was in the Klan because he looked good in white. Who'd a thunk it?

I have a feeling the days being a Democrat could excuse racism is passing away. Reid got justly hit for his comments about Thomas. Perhaps not the furor that would erupt for a Republican, but more than we are accustomed. When pelosi has to jump to Byrd's defense rather than allow the outrage to die naturally, time's are changing.

A Dem can get away with being a former Klansman, but if a Republican praises Strom......

The Senate had been poised to confirm Dr. Rice on Thursday when Byrd and Sen. Barbara Boxer threatened to extend debate and force a postponement, CNN reported Thursday morning.

Why don't they make these backward, obstructionist racists actually continue the "debate". Of course this isn't supposed to be a debate, but why pass up the chance to let Byrd and Boxer opening up their mouths. Each time they open their traps the dims lose thousands of members.

This is news to me. The early news stories made it sound as if it were all Reid's idea.

These "nine hours of debate" are merely for the purpose of allowing some Democrats the opportunity to make speeches which are intended to wow the rubes back home. By which I mean the rubes that voted for them.

Right on, CORE!!!!
Of course, the MSM will ignore this, and I know better than to hold my breath waiting for Jesse Jackson to come to Condi's defense...;)

Because of the Democrats' antics, Colin Powell will go to Ukraine to represent the U.S. at the inauguration of Viktor Yushchenko, rather than Condi Rice...despite the fact that she would be a very appropriate person to go since her academic background was in Soviet studies. I'm sure Powell will do a fine job, but Condi's presence would have been a great way to begin her tenure as Secretary of State.

This, too:
"There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much." - Robert "Sheets" Byrd, 2001

Anyone remember Tedward the Swimmer calling Justice Janice Brown a Neaderthal? The Dims dont think too highly of their main voting block.

Late word is, bigotboy Byrd has sent an aide to the dry cleaner to pick up his laundry: linens, bleached and starched.

There is a great great cartoon in the hard copy of the NY Sun today. I can't find it online.

It harkens back to a well-known scene from "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in which Eliza is crossing the ice. Here is one version.

In today's cartoon by Elliot Banfield, we see Condi crossing the ice near a sign pointing to the State Department. The nasty-looking dogs who are tracking her are labeled Kerry, Biden and Boxer.
