Secret Holder – Found…

Senator Ted Stevens. Figures. This guy actually manages to get more pork than Senator Robert Byrd. Now that’s an accomplishment. ANOTHER ONE? – Okay, make that two holds. Senator Robert Byrd. BIG surprise there. The Kleagle strikes again…….

Senator Byrd was my pick as well. W.Va. has had more pork per capita than any other state, I believe.

But wait, doesn’t this mean we have 2 holders?

What? There can be only one!

Only one way to settle this – arm-wrestling, on camera.

Over the Top, baby.

Am taking bets on who would win that one :)

I suspected the Porkster of them all from the beginning. Dead Pork Walking!

With such a prescient couple there are great chances for cute litte saucissons :)

[...] Or maybe I won’t. As I wrote this, Allah got the word that Red State got the word that the culprit is Byrd. Oh well–I made my call. Go me, participating in the legislative process. Or at least getting a staffer to trot out “Not that I know of” while looking for somebody to hand me off to. Woo! [...]

[...] Thankyooou! Lieutenant, please take the Senator to the haunted amusement park and make him a funhouse exhibit if he tries to run for re-election. And I just got a confirmed tip that Senator Byrd needs to be brought in for questioning. [...]

Another Holder. Shall We Go Another Round?…

A Dem this time?
Flip has the scoop.
Update: Awww, crap.

[UPDATE BY ERICK] RedState has been told reliably that Sen. Byrd is the Democrat who also has a hold on the bill.
Wait, does this mean we’re both winners? No one loses? How very new-agey…..

Update: Erick at Red State says he’s been reliably informed that it is, indeed, the Kleagle.
Time to pay up, Mary K.

Looks like you two were both right.

RedState is reporting that the hold was indeed placed by the old fart.

Sausage and ham could make for a mighty fine pizza! But you might have to call it the Robert C. Byrd Memorial Pizza.
