[...] Still pretty “colorful,” though. Exit question: Shouldn’t Bunning at least be held to the standard of steel-trap coherence displayed by elder Klansstatesman Robert Byrd? [...]

His hair looks as white as a klansman’s hood.

Not that there’s any connection, of course.

I actually made it through the whole thing. It wasworth it for the look at the end. While he was talking, a line from Homer Simpson came into my head
“If you keep talking like that, we’re gonna put you in a home.”

Saf-e-ty, indeed. I really feel safe now. And honored and respected, as a country. Tragi-comedy.

How about at 75?

Splicing this up would make the BEST series of campaign commercials, EVER!

You could cut the “who is listening bits” into like 5 different ads that make it seem like the speech goes on forever and ever; and an ad, standing all by itself, that has him twirling his arm around for a while.

No matter what you think of him, he serves a useful purpose for us.

He’s our poster child for congressional term limits.

At least when he teams up with special interest groups (and yes, moveon.org SUX, agreed), it’s for things like this:

“to stop – at least for now – a sneaky effort by George W. Bush and his Republican congressional allies to wipe out federal overtime pay protections for millions of American workers.”

I’m from near Huntington originally and went to WVU so I definitely know what you mean about those names being on virtually everything!

Less than a year ago, 64% of W.Va. voters chose this man as the best human being, in the entire state, to represent them in the U.S. Senate.
Crap politics indeed.

WV politicians name everything after themselves. Before moving to Huntington, I lived in Morgantown. That area if rife with buildings, streets, bridges, schools that are named after the blowhards. A visitor to the state would believe there are only three families that live here: Byrd, Manchin and Mollohan.

Byrd took money from Moveon.org. Quite the special interest group. When it hit local talk radio, even the “conservative” hosts were defending him.

The last time I watched him speak like this, the font size he was reading was probably 1″ tall. He’d say a dozen or so words and then flip the page. These look pretty big too.

FYI, Byrd was strongly against shamnesty from the very beginning.

hollygolightly on July 18, 2007 at 7:43 PM

It is certainly unfortunate he was unable to take a lead on the issue.

Thanks for letting me know.

Some of you folks are being a bit rough on him. He’s lived a long time and seen a lot of things. I just hope I live that long and have enough respect from people that they would re-elect me even though I was like that.

As far as what he said I wonder where he stood on amnesty. Here we have a senate that has appropriated more money that Bush wanted because of the big terror threat. Yet, they won’t even secure the border. I think there are a lot of senile folks in the senate.
