He started serving just after he left the KKK.

[Brilliant]

well past his prime.

[Geronimo]

He's a Grand Wizard...

[CPT Clay]

Good, He needs to retire.

Byrd set to become longest-serving senator

...or at least to make it seem just as long....

"I have no idea. The Lord could call me home tonight,"

I was thiking about taking a ride over to Hell Mi. today if he needs a ride.

"I have no idea. The Lord could call me home tonight," he said.

He best be careful, I think someone else has him on speed-dial.

[Sonny M]

In his recent book, he actually had the nerve to whitewash the KKK as if they were the rotary club.

Byrd also remembered sending word to an inquiring President Richard Nixon in 1971 that he did not want to be considered for the U.S. Supreme Court.

thank God....he is enough trouble where he is

Of the more than 17,500 votes Byrd has cast, he said his biggest regret was opposing the 1964 Civil Rights Act, a landmark law that brought down barriers to black Americans.

Actually - he also filibustered it several times - and voted against like so many of his democrat colleges.

[Always Right]

And service to be proud of....

[the OlLine Rebel]

"WroNg!"

"HelLO?!"

"Pretteh-pretteh-pretteh"

[Thebaddog]

Dontchya just get the creepy feeling that it has always been all about him and not exactly what's best for the people of West Virginia?

[SmithL]

I hope he wears clean sheets.

Byrd has helped direct billions of dollars in federal money to his chronically poor state.

Hmmm. Wonder if the state is chronically poor because federal handouts and cronyism have helped to drive out private enterprise and capitalism.

[the OlLine Rebel]

"the esteemed Historian of the Senate"

ROFL

[Argus]

Byrd, who carries a copy of the Constitution in his pocket and often pulls it out during Senate debates.

Maybe he'd like to whip it out and show us where the Constitution authorizes the senators to vote billions in pork for themselves.
