#1 If Byrd loses next year there will be a whole bunch of champagne flowing in my household. The Kleagle has been an embarrassment to the Senate for decades. Time for him to sit on the veranda, sip mint juleps, and FOAD.

#2 And take Otis (AKA Teddy) with him. A good discription of Teddy from a guy I know that is a local radio talk guy

And I am also not going to have some martini-besotted Boston Brahmin who except for an accident of birth would have been nothing more than a cab driver, or garbage collector, or second-rate plumberâs helper rather than the Senator he became control the countryâs dialogue. .

I don't always agree with the guy. But them having totally agreeing POVs does get boring after a little while.

#3 Seems a bit risky of a comment from our sitting congressional klansman:

"One's life is probably in no greater danger in the jungles of deepest Africa than in the jungles of America's large cities," he writes

#4 Then I'd suggest he go to the "jungles of deepest Africa" and find out.

Soon.

I hear the lions like white bread - though too much of it is bad for their digestion.... ;-p

#5 There are a few things that would give me more pleasure than seeing this asshole go down in 2006; give me some time and I'll try to remember what they are.

I may just drop a couple of C-notes on Byrd-man's opponent, out of sheer spite...

#6 Leave Otis out of this. He never killed anyone and had a good heart.

#9 Leave Otis out of this. He never killed anyone and had a good heart.

The Otis remark refers to Otis from Mayberry. And in no way is it meant to disparage Otis. It refers to Teddy's well known fondness for the booze

#12 I just hope he lives long enough to see his name chiselled off all the public works projects he pork barrelled in a fit of anti-KKK outrage

#13 The day Byrd gets run out of town will be a proud day for all Americans.
