My sympathies to his family, but the man was IMO a disgrace in government.
I wouldn’t lie someone like that near the White House.
How about they just let let him cycle a few round trips on the Porkulus WVU-Morgantown monorail system.
Seems more appropriate.
So who would cross the street to see him? Are they giving government workers a paid day off to go?
They say a Byrd in the Ground is worth two in the Senate.
He is a democrat...he lies in state, out of state, he lies all the time...he is a democrat. Good riddance to this repugnant pig democrat.
“Poster Boy for Term Limits.”
AMEN!!!
Indeed. A doddering old man who should have been an embarrassment to the voters of West Virgina and who was in office far, far too long. 58 years in congress. That's absurd! Byrd's undeniable racist roots and penchant for 'talking conservative' and voting liberal are well known. For this man to be accorded the honor of a 'state funeral' and 'lying in state' is just wrong. However, in these times, where it seems everything is upside down and wrong is considered right, it may well occur. Yet another diminishing of the word 'honor' when it's applied to people like the late senator Robert C. Byrd.
West Virginia should be renamed Byrdistan.
Good. I’ll know where to go to take a leak on him.
