Robert Byrd Has Died
He was 378 or some such, apparently.
Some implications here.
Update: ok, I can’t say that I’m surprised by this but it still frankly makes me want to barf. In NO WAY do I support a lot of what Strom Thurmond did or stood for, but here’s his obituary in the NYT

That’s history revisionism at its worst.
One of the more petty, vindictive, hypocritical, clutch-power-with-all-his-might partisans that Congress has ever seen. Not a big fan here. Had a sense of humor and played a decent fiddle, though.
Isn’t Clymer the cretin who bragged about licking doorknobs?
How sincere do you think the first black president will be in delivering the eulogy to the former Klansman? Rev. Wright was not available for comment.
I think Byrd had to make it to July 8 for a Governor to appoint a successor.
What do you expect from a major league a**hole?
Doesn’t matter how vile you are in life if you belong to the right political party.
Bings – I know which of them filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act for 14 hours.
Ever drive through West Virginia? The whole damn state is named after him. To para phrase that turd “I would rather the nation go under than stand/fight next to a black man.” Something vile like that as I remember. But he was “changed” man says another world class turd, Paul Begala. Democrat=hypocrite
