I saw elsewhere someone ask whether there was anything else in West Virginia that could get his name on it. One of the replies was a tombstone.
 Not that I speak ill of the guy, but given all the federal money he successfully channeled to the state, about the only things not named for him are the cities and towns and the state itself. |

The line of succession laws really need to be changed. 3rd in line (behind Biden and Pelosi) is now 85 year old Senator Inouye.

I actually cried twice last night. I've only cried at two other famous people dying - Johnny Cash and Fred Rogers.

Are they going to bury him in his Klan robes?

Politics and racism aside, I've never gotten over that 20/20 interview he did with John Stossel where Stossel confronted him about all of the pet projects he got funded, and Byrd came off as such a conceited, arrogant asshole I've hated him ever since. His "twaddlizing" comment has stuck with me for I don't know how many years. I can still see that smug bastard's face in that interview...
