Bye Bye Byrdie
Sen. Robert Byrd will be stepping down as the head of the Senate Appropriations committee.
The move came after the Senate agreed to rename the committee: "The Robert C. Byrd Committee for the Promotion of Pork."
The committee becomes the 10,000th thing to be named after the senator from West Virginia. Others include: The Robert C. Byrd Highway, The Robert C. Byrd Locks and Dam, The Robert C. Byrd Institute, The Robert C. Byrd Life Long Learning Center, The Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship Program, The Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, The Robert C. Byrd Institute for Advanced Flexible Manufacturing, The Robert C. Byrd Federal Courthouse, The Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center, The Robert C. Byrd Academic and Technology Center, The Robert C. Byrd United Technical Center, The Robert C. Byrd Federal Building, The Robert C. Byrd Drive, The Robert C. Byrd Hilltop Office Complex, The Robert C. Byrd Library, The Robert C. Byrd Learning Resource Center and The Robert C. Byrd Rural Health Center.*

You forgot the Robert C Byrd commemorative outhouse.
"Senator Byrd taught me, from my very first day in the Senate, that no one person is bigger or more important than the Senate as a whole." He certainly lies well, doesn't he? Must have been speaking about someone other than himself. His self-importance is only exceeded by his arrogance! I think he's still that same bigoted, prejudiced KuKluxer he was 50 years ago, he's just learned to hide it better. He and his fellow liberal, left-wing illuminatis would lie or do anything to retain their offices. I say "good riddance" to him--he's been in power for far too many years.
