#2 Senator byrd ran a close 2nd to saddam, in the number of state and regional monuments, streets, and buildings named after HIM. Senator byrd chirps loudest wen attention is diverted from his major role in transfering tax dollars to his favorite project; himself.

#3 Saw this guy on Larry King. He still thinks its the 1940s. Someone should give him his medication and put him back to bed. Wake him up after the war is over.

#5 Someone is correct. That old Klan Kreep is sadly the image many around the globe have of us. He was ruining this nation's image abroad by running around burning crosses when the current president was a baby on Barbara's knee. He's a hillbilly Tony Soprano.

#6 "A pall has fallen over the Senate chamber."

Sure it's not the smoke from the cross-burning, Mr. Wizard?

#7 Byrd would've been OK with the war if we'd named it after him, like all the rest of the pork he's stolen obtained for W.Va.

#8 Can't he pork barrel himself the Robert Byrd Federal Home for Senile U.S. Senators and go the f**k away. Everytime this old fool opens his mouth, I cringe.

#9 "A pall has fallen over the Senate chamber," Byrd said.

I suspect he's confusing a nearly-empty chamber with a pall over the chamber. How many senators are going to waste their time listening to his arrogant lectures. Time for term limits. Hell, time for age limits.

#10 "Today I weep for my country," Don't weep old man, the CSA has been dead for a long time now. Time to let go. Time to get on with life.

I remember an issue of MAD magazine from my youth that came up with suggested names for pollution that came from other sources. "Shmo" was their term for all the smoke released from all the cross-burnings in the South by the Klan.

#17 The only reason he's ticked off is that none of the cash is being spent in the Great State of West Virginia. The King of Pork, The Sultan of Swindle. He's about as meaningless as the designated hitter in baseball, and thats the sport we should introduce to Iraq

#18 I get e-mails from a few lefties who sometimes forward me arguments they feel are compelling. This one was making the rounds today. When weepy missives from senile ex-klansmen are considered profound, you gotta wonder.
