"Robert Byrd"

Now there was a text book Democrat.

I forget what year it was that via Byrd's powerful position as chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee he earmarked something like 85% of the entire US road infrastructure budget to West Virginia.

Always looking out for the good of society as a whole.. as long as society lived in West Virginia.

When questioned by the media about his actions.. He was non-apologetic. He said.. I am here to promote West Virginia. If I could get 100% allocated. I would in a second.
