Wow...Do you hear that?...nothing...nada...the sound of silence.

I realize that Byrd has excellent credentials for portraying a Confederate general, but how in the hell can an 84 year old man portray a 48 year old man?

"My role is small, admittedly, and probably won't earn me an Academy Award," Byrd, D-W.Va., said.

It won't earn you any condemnation either, you doddering old f*rt.

[Doctor Raoul]

How will we know it's really Bobbie Byrd under that sheet in the movie?

[suijuris]

Won't have to worry about make up and wardrobe since he will be wearing a hood and white sheet most of the time.

"Senator Byrd, I said cut! Would you please stop beating that black actor now. And put that noose back in the prop trailer, it's not in this scene."

[xzins]

Ridiculous.

Most generals in that war were relatively young men.

So many were West Point grads, and the Point was still a relatively young institution at that time.

[Savage Beast]

I hear he's also starring in the remake of Birth of a Nation.

I have a question? I have, like everone 2 senators, and they get relected every 6 years. Do your senators vote in their own election? Mine don't. Mine are Robert C. Byrd And John D. Rockefeller. They both in Virginia.

[speedy]

Actually, Byrd originally had a small speaking part where he complained about "white n*****s" but Ted Turner quietly cut it from the film.

[lorrainer]

Sheesh. You'd think he would be worried about being typecast...

[Choozer]

As long as he's helping the DemonRats keep 'em on the Plantation (aka voting Democrat), then he'll catch no flak.
