Byrd Droppings
Former (wink-wink) KKK leader and U.S. Senator Robert Byrd got his Depends in a wad over President Bush's visit to the USS
Abraham Lincoln. In a
tantrum from the Senate floor, Byrd slurred, gurgled and slobbered that "it is an affront to the Americans killed or injured in Iraq for the president to exploit the trappings of war for the momentary spectacle of a speech." Byrd, who insisted during a televised interview two years ago that there is such a thing as "
white niggers", went on to label Bush as a "desk-bound president who assumes the garb of a warrior for the purposes of a speech."
Having missed CSPAN's Senate coverage, I don't know if Byrd assumed the garb of a klansman for the purposes of a speech.
