Robert Byrd(91) Hands His Chairmanship of the Appropriations Committee Over To Younger Blood, Senator Daniel K. Inouye(84)

By: Pam On: Nov/8/08 - 2 Comments

Oh the NYT’s, they are a  stitch:

Mr. Byrd who is serving his ninth term in the Senate, gets around the Capitol in a wheelchair, but he continues to be a formidable force and one of the most eloquent voices in the chamber, often delivering impassioned speeches that hearken to an earlier era when rhetorical flourishes were a matter of deep pride and when senators spent far more time listening to one another in person rather than monitoring floor proceedings from their office by watching C-Span.

Via Perfuction, I leave you with “The Best Of Byrd”

Don’t forget the best of Byrd with “White Niggers”

    Senator Byrd is the original racist.  I watched those videos and the only thing I can say is ” I miss Tony Snow!”

    ..and for the last eight years you’ve called Democrats “whiners”?

    Try being part of the solution so we can recover ourselves as a nation in every possible sense ..
    This is just sour grapes.
