Poor Byrd. Everyone time I think of him now I can only see him crying over Ted Kennedy's diagnosis with a brain tumor: "Ted.....My best friend Ted...." Ugh, that was horrible.
But I imagine he would pass also.

I would like you to explain to the readership how a Senator can become Speaker of the United States House of Representatives without being elected to the House of Representatives. Robert Carlyle Byrd is a SENATOR not a Congressman. I will also ask you research and report back on how a Speaker is selected. Is it senority? Is he/she elected by members of the House? Senate? Combination of the 2? Is the name pulled out of the hat with the names selected from attendees of the last horseshoe throwing contest in Waskom, Texas?
There is a wealth of information out there, why not look into it?
Personally, I think it's time for the old bird to retire, if not pass. Completely.
Well, Yeah. I dispise him more than any other Senator and I am a Democrat, but that still has no bearing on how he is "NEXT IN LINE FOR HOUSE SPEAKER".

How far back do you want to go to deflect from the corrupt issue at hand???
A POTUS conveniently forgetting about weapons sales to an enemy means a lot more to me than one lying about a BJ yet the amnesiac gets near deified while the sex hound gets pilloried. How far back do we have to go for THAT to make sense?
Are Pelosi's motives in lying, more important than the lies themselves?
It is clear that Nancy Pelosi was briefed in 2002 on the waterboarding and other techniques being used at the time... and she raised no objections. Only much later, did she begin lambasting President Bush over everything from the Surge to the prisoners at Gitmo... and waterboarding.
It is equally clear that, while she had no problem with the terrorists who planned the 9/11 attacks being waterboarded, she later decided to pretend outrage over that same waterboarding... when she needed to use it as a tool to destroy President Bush.
Here we have the Speaker of the House, leader of the House and third in line for the Presidency, ignoring the importance of serious and careful planning of the war against terrorists, and flip-flopping over it randomly, using it simply for the purpose of destroying her political opponents and furthering her own political agenda in Washington DC.
Is this the Democrat "leadership" the American people deserve, as our enemies who declared war on us continue to plot and attack us all over the world?
Pelosi's behavior, carried on year after year now, is beyond shocking, verging on disgraceful. She clearly considers her personal fight against Republicans, far more important than the fight against terrorists who killed three thousand civilians in New York and elsewhere. And she apparently has no problem bending and twisting her party's efforts into a vendetta against anyone who objects, going so far as to accuse the entire CIA of lying and misleading her when her machinations are brought to light.
What benefits, exactly, are the American people reaping from having this woman in such a responsible position in the American government? Is there any chance she will stop attacking and tearing down our own people, long enough to notice that the country is in severe trouble on many fronts and needs leadership from SOMEONE in Congress?

As the sniper wrote, burdell, his safety matters more to him than anything else. I concur. You should stay in Jersey, BTW.
