This would be great news — albeit way too late.
Dems consider ousting Byrd as appropriations chair
A group of Senate Democrats has begun quietly exploring ways to replace the venerable Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) as chairman of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, believing he’s no longer physically up to the job …
Putting this pork-meister in charge of appropriations is like giving Rosie O’Donnell the keys to a doughnut shop.
Robert Byrd —
- a former Kleagle in the Klu Klux Klan
- the only Senator to have voted against the nominations of both Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas to the United States Supreme Court — the only two African Americans to have been nominated to the court.
- the man who filibustered of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
- the man wh, in a March 4, 2001 interview with Tony Snow used the term “nigger”.
- Yes. I’m saying the man is a racist. Always has been, always will be.
— this senile old man (he just turned 90) can’t even change his own diapers anymore and should have retired a long, long time ago.
Has there ever been a more widely despised (by both sides) group of majority leaders than Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John Murtha, and Robert Byrd (third in line to the President? Are you fucking kidding me. Someone go wipe the drool of the old coot’s jowls).
