Insert Hitler/Bar Mitzvah joke here.

Byrd uses your money to repair his reputation.

I think we're long overdue for an Abraham Lincoln tribute. He did more for Civil Rights than Martin Luther King did.

Using other peoples money for forgiveness is not a path to salvation.

I meant, in addition to the standing memorial. :-)

The only catch is, they'll have to build the King memorial at a travel plaza along the West Virginia Turnpike south of Charleston (the northbound side, of course), and call it the "Robert Byrd Memorial Martin Luther King Memorial."

When are they going to release the FBI files on MLK?

50-Million-dollars? and then they get a "Bryd Grant?" Hmmmm. That sure seems like a lot of dough. But if Sen. Byrd wants it so, well then, it must be a great idea.

Next!

It's easy to be generous with other peoples' money. Send me some & I'll show you! :-)

Byrd, who filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act for 14-straight hours

But, hey - we mustn't dwell on the past, should we?

by securing $10 million in funding for the King monument.

But the deficit! Just damn...

I'd bet the farm that Byrd is a closet racist.

Dr. King's family has yet to comment on Byrd's attempt to use the civil rights leader's memory to repair his Klan-scarred image.

As long as Corretta receives a little cash, she won't mind.

He ain't in the closet. He still uses the N-word. His excuse is that there are "white n***ers" as well as "black n***ers".
