Blogs for Bush

Over at our sister site, GOP Bloggers, we've noted that Senator Byrd (D-WV) has gotten a GOP challenger to his re-election efforts in 2006. We, of course, wish all success to Hiram Lewis and any other Republican who decides to challenge the Senator...but a nugget of information in the story makes me wish all success to anyone who challenges the Senator. I am extremely infuriated to find out about this:

<<<

The Morgantown lawyer made his announcement near the base of a statue of West Virginia's senior Democratic senator at the state Capitol in Charleston.(emphasis added)
>>>

I could not, at first, believe that a United States Senator would agree to have a statue of himself raised, nor could I believe that Americans would allow such a thing to happen. But, I checked, and its true:

<<<

Sen. Byrd has set a new standard for taxpayer-funded narcissism by convincing the West Virginia Legislature to erect a statue of himself in the state Capitol. The statue's completion violates state law prohibiting statues of government officials until they have been dead for half a century.
>>>

This is an un-American outrage; we shouldn't be waiting for an election to get rid of Byrd, we should be impeaching him! And every government official, elected or otherwise, who had a hand in approving the creation of this abomination. That statue should be ripped down today; as our ancestors once upon a time ripped down the icons of living political leaders who taxed and oppressed our people.
