"Byrd is President pro tempore of the United States Senate of the 110th United States Congress, a position that puts him third in line of presidential succession, behind Vice President Dick Cheney and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. He also held this post previously from 1989–1995, briefly in January 2001, and from June 2001 – January 2003. He also previously held many leadership positions: Senate Conference Secretary, Majority Whip and twice Majority Leader."
The fact that you apparently don't know this - or don't care - speaks volumes.
Thanks for proving - again -that liberals are OK with racists as long as there's a "D" after their names.
