You’re kidding, aren’t you? What, in particular, has Sen Byrd done that deserves respect? Set the Guinness record for most self-serving, pork projects that include a plaque bearing his name?
With all due to respect to WV voters, I just don’t understand their long, long bout with Byrd flu.
Byrd is a throwback from the 1800s. People like Henry Clay, Charles Sumter, etc. He’s really old school, which is why I have a teeny-bit of respect for him.
I remember his quote during the impeachment. "While these rise to high crimes and misdemeanors, I'll not vote to remove." What else needs to be said?
