Why isn't anyone angry that the media has put him in this position. When did "sheets" have to do this?

Sheets *was* Majority Leader in the Senate and is constantly gushingly referred to as "The Conscience of the Senate."

Sheets was also President Pro Tempore of the Senate for the past year and a half.

Byrd was both minority and majority leader in the Senate from 1979 to 1989.
