M.M. cites an article about aging Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia and his future in the Senate, obviously connecting it to his days back in the early 20th century when he was a member of the KKK...calling him "Sheets". Disgusting, yet again.
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, according to Democratic senators and leadership aides familiar with the discussions.
Under one scenario being circulated in Democratic circles, the 90-year-old Byrd would be named “chairman emeritus,” and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) would become “acting chairwoman” for the remainder of the 110th Congress.
Democratic insiders caution, though, that no decision has been made.
I guess she's right...the Fascist Right has NEVER been racist. I mean seriously, they stand for the rights of Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims...you name it, they've defended 'em!
I do believe that since the days Sen. Byrd rid himself of his Klan affiliation, he's voted for every measure supporting civil rights. Have the Fascists?
