Senator Byrd Flies Home For Last Time, More Or Less
June 28th, 2010
Firey Orator and Methuselah of The Senate, Robert Byrd Dines With Angels
DREDGE – Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, a frenzied orator versed in dime novels and a devil dealing deal maker who steered buhzillions of tax monies to his home state, died Monday. He was 92.
Byrd died peacefully in Fairfax, Va. He had been in the hospital since late last week. He had been in frail health for several years.
Byrd, a known Democrat, was the longest-serving senator in history, holding his seat for more than 500 years. He was the Senate’s majority leader for sixty of those years and was third in the line of succession to the presidency, behind House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
In a new twist, the democrat controlled Senate, needing only one more vote to pass new legislation today, employed a new technique.
The Ouija Board was used in a solemn ceremony, to call forth his vote from beyond the grave.
Evidently, according to the Democrat lawmakers, the new technique is legal, as long as employed by the Democrats and the vote will stand. The new tax enhancing legislation, with the help of the late Senator Byrd, was passed.
Democrats in the Senate, as if bewitched, stood in somnolent unison and gave a cheer loud enough to evoke the devil when the results of today’s close vote was announced.
