‘Shut up‘ ! That was what he said in response to those that questioned his ability to head such a powerful committe! He used to be so eloquent when he spoke:
Now doesn’t this make you feel like your tax dollars are being well spent?
Byrd seemed to grasp that what was on the official agenda was not the only topic of the hearing, showing up on time in a crisp suit and displaying a broad smile while an aide wheeled him into the room.
When the hearing ended, his only words for his critics were, “Shut up.” He seemed to pass the test, convincing three Senate Democratic leaders that he’s able to continue as chairman.
Thank God he said shut up, and because of that, Durbin, Schumer and Reid are convinced he is the best man for the job!
