Nothing Good On TV? Laugh Yer A** Off On CSPAN2: Robert Byrd Delirium LIVE

I can't help wondering: if he were a Conservative, the press would be broadcasting the latest "Byrd Brain Quote" every week just like they did Quayle.

3 1/2 hours and he's only got through page 3 of a 4 page document.

How pathetic that the whip has to coddle him because it's so obvious that he is losing it.

Now we're contemplating poems.

And can you believe, he asked that this 3 1/2 hour tirade not be counted against the two speech limit.

It's not really funny, it's very sad, he is frail and is shaking badly (Parkinson's ???) -- I can't believe that people keep electing him

There will be an office of Homeland Security long after you're six feet under Senator. Your buddy Clinton had 8 years to worry about homeland security and he was only worried about getting blow jobs in the west wing.

We're going for four hours I guess.

I thank my mother, my father, the cleaning lady, the pizza delivery boy, the pharmacist who processes my Medicaid prescriptions, my chauffeur, my groomer, and the people of W. Virginia who keep sending me to Washington even though I'm suffering from dementia.

SENATOR BYRD: 'THERE ARE WHITE NIGGERS'

Senator Robert Byrd [D-WV] stunned a national television audience on Sunday when he used the term "white niggers" during an interview.

Byrd, who early in his career was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, used the term on FOX NEWS SUNDAY when asked about the state of race relations in America by host Tony Snow.

"They are much, much better than they've ever been in my lifetime," Byrd said. "I think we talk about race too much. I think those problems are largely behind us... I just think we talk so much about it that we help to create somewhat of an illusion. I think we try to have good will. My old mom told me, 'Robert, you can't go to heaven if you hate anybody.' We practice that." Then Byrd warned: "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."

Byrd's office later issued an apology.

"I apologize for the characterization I used on this program. The phrase dates back to my boyhood and has no place in today's society. As for my language, I had no intention of casting aspersions on anyone of another race," according to the statement.
