[...] an important part in the U.S. Senate, but why was a former KKK Kleagle known to use the n-word ever placed in charge of the Appropriations Committee? Anyway, he’s stepping down from his seat, citing his age, to [...]

Senator Byrd, like myself has put more miles behind him than he has to travel before him....He is a fellow human being, and if you ever make other things more important than that, you need some help.

His end is near, mine will approaching in a few years.

Eneils, beautifully said. As one who recently passed the Rubicon (50), I too know that I have more miles behind me than before me.

I have to think we will all get there; and the goodness in each and everyone of us will be recognized.

Indeed...

His state kept sending him back because they were spoiled to his shameless and selfish abuse of power. Hopefully in time he'll be regarded for what he is, the epitome of what is wrong with American politics, and the poster-boy for term limits. His fellow members of the senate only humor him because of his position to hold sway over too much power. Good riddance to him and his enormous ego...Not a great statesman, but rather a very small man that put himself above country.

I do believe that every living creature on God's earth has a purpose.

We will all enter into that moment in time where we realize that God has provided us with the opportunity to do the best that we can.

There's no perfect human beings on this earth, neither I nor Senator Byrd. If we were all perfect, we would not be blessed with the torments and pleasures of a conscience.

Senator Byrd, like myself has put more miles behind him than he has to travel before him.

Politically, I oppose almost every thing his political ideology instructs him to do. He is a fellow human being, and if you ever make other things more important than that, you need some help.

His end is near, mine will approaching in a few years.

There's a lot more things that are more important than what you believed, try, for instance , what you did.

I have to think we will all get there; and the goodness in each and everyone of us will be recognized.

Gotta believe, He will get in; on probation. And then like me, he will become a chancre sore on the nuts of heaven. Big deal, we have all done more bad than good. and I have excuses for what I did, hope he has the same.

The Byrd flew away, in his white robe, crosses a-blazing, and the black Raven squawking "Nevermore."

When is his term up? Is he intending to run again? He looks awfully frail in that photo.

My guess is that it is the best thing for the committee-although I can't help but see the humor in replacing him with an almost equally old man.

Let's remember, Byrd rode with the KKK. He probably is quitting because of the news circumstances vis a vis the Presidency.

They replaced an old man with ... an old man?

Change you can believe in.

So ends the reign of the great Pork King of West Virginia.
