+1. I hope he makes a speedy recovery. I do have to say though, that at his age... why is he still around? It's like Strom Thurmond. Hell he was ASLEEP half the time! Why let these guys stay in office at that age? I just don't get it.

Because they get voted into office. The voter has the ultimate say. That's why term limits is a stupid idea.

Same way Andrew let FactFinder in here ?

Byrd was an old school Democrat like George Wallace. Back when the colored folk were only invited to join the Republican party.

"I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

Robert C. Byrd - 1944

We love the dude here in the south ...on the plantations!!

I, think that he probably changed his outer garment, as the times changed. As for his heart and soul that's between him and his God. What he was and what he became is no more.... ashes to ashes,dust to dust and another reminder of an ugly past is buried.
