Robert "Sheets" Byrd ping (and post #35 ROTFLMAO bump!)

LOL

I read somewhere that Byrd actually sold white sheets for a living before he entered Congress. Since he was the Grand Kleagle (Chief Recruiter) for the KKK I guess he also sold the uniforms to the newly recruited and made out like a bandit.

Somebody ought to research if there were any lynchings in West Virginia in the late 30s and early 40s when Byrd was active...

I think "dancing in the sheets" came off the soundtrack of that Kevin Bacon movie, was it "footloose" about the guy from chicago getting the high school in rural usa somewhere to have a school dance?

If ever Ellen Ratner's cheeks explode, she could wipe out the whole of Manhattan.

Just think what Barney Franks' would do.

[Paul Atreides]

Yep. The movie was Footloose, with Kevin Bacon and John Lithgow as the obligatory evil Christian.

Sheets was what Rush said Trent called him.

Bryd was a paid KKK recruiter and has zero place representing the most pwerful nation on earth.

Rush even reported today that Robert Kennedy was bugging Martin Luther King when Kennedy was Atty General!!
