Gee, that's surprising.

Byrd doesn't want us to "check under the hood"?

Hell, all of Byrd’s have his name on them when they’re built anyway.

I expect West Virginia to be renamed Byrdland by 2009.

That’s the same thing the Dems said when they lost the Congress in 1994.

They said they shouldn’t have let the cameras in so people could see what they were doing.

Of course not. Birdbrain and his cohorts in crime want the public to shut up and go along with whatever nonsense they dream up.

Isn’t just about anything that isn’t moving in West Virginia named after KKK Byrd? I’m sure he is the master of earmarks for his many years in the Senate.

Give every aspect of government the light of day. That will help but won’t cure these jerks who forget why they are there and look to spend every penny they can get their hands on.

As King of Pork Spending, Bobby Byrd (and the other candidate Ted Stevens) would be held accountable. They could no longer wheel and deal in the backroom. I can understand why he wouldn’t want the public to know what he’s doing. The Sh**head!

Yeah, he’s been dead for a long time. As a demorat, he was elected by dead voters. I guess he is just representing them.
