When David Duke ran down here in LA, Republican senators came here and endorsed his Democratic opponent.
Needless to say, Democrats would never do likewise for us.
Only the damn french would write this garbage.
"Known for his florid oratory..."
This is what gets me. Reuters reports Byrd is KNOWN for his oratory.
Well, if as the Grand Klegal, saying "hang the nigger" is grand oratory, then Reuters may be right.
But Quoting Circero or whomever is not ORIGINAL ORATORY, it is QUOTING! And Byrd has quoted Roman Orators and Historians for decades. This does not make him an ORATOR, it makes him a reporter of ORATORS or an historian.
But, we cannot expect some studid ass reporter to get anything right!
