During a discussion last February involving the FHA, Senator Byrd reminded his fellow senators of… of… of…. well, of something.
“…senators should address one other … how?… not…. in the second person….. but.. rather… in the third person
is the senator… from Timbuktu aware of that ….rule?
is the senator from West Virginia aware of the rule? Yes.
The senator from West Virginia Mr. President will take his seat.’
That’s only a partial transcript of his, um… well, I guess they were remarks. I’m still trying to interpret them.
Imagine the Republicans trying to sneak someone as inexperienced as Sarah Palin past a guy like Senator Byrd!
That was last February. Here’s how he looked in May (“before we begin consideration of this important spending bill”):
Remember, if Governor Palin is elected Vice President, she will have to preside over Senator Byrd.
I guess that sort of work does take experience of a certain kind.

After five babies, she has the experience.
LOL
I’m just guessing, but that “senator from Timbuktu” remark looks like a dig at Obama. It’s very much the sort of “humor” an addled ex-Klansman would come up with.
BTW, does everyone realize that man is third in the line of succession to the presidency?
Palin doesn’t lie and cover well, suggesting that it’s unfamiliar to her. That’s a good thing, though it’s painful to watch. Byrd can lie and cover even when he’s going senile, indicating that it’s his default setting.
Yep. Kinda reminds me o’ Strom Thurmond.
