I’ve alway like Sen.Byrd. He reminds me of a character out of Inherit the Wind (the monkey trial movie with Spencer Tracy). He was completely loyal to West Virginia people and they are loyal to him. He accomplished much for that state. I heard him speak in his younger days. Let me tell you, modern politicians can not speak this way-what a command of the english language Sen. Byrd had.

He reminds me of a character out of GONE WITH the Wind, but I like him anyway.

I remember his speech about Clinton and Monica. At first he came out against Clinton and then( if I remember correctly) turned in the same speech for him. He was masterful in his command of the English language and skill as a politician.
