What I can't figure out, is why the good people of West Virginia keep sending Sen. Robert (KKK Sheets) Byrd to Washington. At the age of 88, Sen. Robert Byrd with 17,327 days of service since 1959 as a Democratic senator from West Virginia became the longest-serving senator in history. You'd think that West Virginians, especially the black, Jewish, Catholic residents would have voted a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan out of office many years ago. They are probably more offended by Joey Vento's "SPEAK ENGLISH" sign. The Citizens Against Government Waste has just named Byrd "Porker of the Month." That probably explains it all.

He should be named porker and bigot of the century.

People on my side don't want to hear this, but Joey Vento *is* acting worse than the French. Imagine if you visited another country and were refused service because you didn't speak the language 100% correctly. That's what Vento is doing.

I understand why Joey Vento is upset about illegal immigration. I agree with him. He also has the right to do whatever he wants with his business. That being said, the man's an ass.

I dunno, maybe because he said "Only dead men and fools never change their mind", as he switched his vote AGAINST the so-called flag desecration amendment. Remember that this year when the amendment is defeated by only a vote or two. This man came to understand how wrong it was to meddle with the Bill of Rights, and changed his vote despite constituent's browbeating.

Maybe this flag amendment debate Monday will find another Senator or two that have a Byrd epiphany, and vote to uphold their oath of office, which said they will uphold the Constitution, not amend it on a whim. Our Constitution hangs in the balance.

Other than this, however, he should really be driving a pork delivery truck, as he delivers more pork than anyone.
