Robert Byrd Scandalously Replaced By a Man 8/9ths His Age

POSTED BY: Dylan and Ethan Ris

Talk about ageism! Discriminatory Senators apparently decided that West Virginia Democrat Robert C. Byrd was simply too old for his post as Chairman of the powerful Appropriations Committee. So they forced him out and replaced him with a much younger man.

Who's only 84!

Sen. Robert C. Byrd (D-W.Va.), 90, the longest-serving senator in U.S. history, announced yesterday that he is stepping down as chairman of the Appropriations Committee, one of the most powerful panels on Capitol Hill.

Byrd, whose penchant for steering billions of dollars to his state made him a legend at home and in the Senate, will relinquish his gavel under pressure from Democratic leaders who believe he has become too frail to continue in such an important job.

Sen. Daniel K. Inouye (D-Hawaii), 84, the second-ranking Democrat on the panel for decades, is expected to succeed Byrd as chairman.

This whippersnapper Inouye may think that he is the bee's knees, but he needs to learn some respect for his elders. That young hotshot probably doesn't even remember the Coolidge Administration!

Now, Byrd may have resigned by choice. But the pederast Democratic leadership certainly backed him into a corner with unhelpful accusations that...

* He sleeps through Senate proceedings, even when the leader is speaking.

* His now frequent religious outbursts are way archaic; today's hip young Senators are all about praise metal.

* He's developed a nasty recurring habit of nearly dying.

Well hopefully the Senate knows what they're getting themselves into. Just remember that back when Daniel Inouye was still in diapers, Robert Byrd was valiantly serving his country as a kindergarten student.

Fortunately for West Virginians who are concerned that Byrd's name doesn't grace enough public works, the nine-term Senator will keep his seat on the Appropriations Committee, even if he's not the chairman anymore.

And fortunately for Americans who voted against John McCain last week because they thought he was far too young for the presidency, Byrd will continue to serve as President Pro Tempore of the Senate, putting him fourth in line for the Oval Office!

Harry Reid Sharpens His Axe For Robert Byrd, Joe Lieberman

POSTED BY: Dylan Ris


It's a Democratic year, but not so much for turncoats and geriatrics. Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill, is reporting that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) may have some demotions up his sleeve when the next Congress is sworn in...

Reid is under pressure from his rank and file to strip the gavels from Appropriations Chairman Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Joe Lieberman (ID-Conn.).

Byrd, who will turn 91 next month, has been physically unable to perform some duties associated with doling out nearly a third of the federal budget, while Lieberman’s decisions not just to endorse Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for president but also to go on the attack against Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) has made him a turncoat in many Democrats’ eyes.

The party's case against Byrd...

* He has been in and out of the hospital all year, sending aides to handle much of his business as chairman.

* His increasingly frequent religious outbursts have given the Senate all the decorum of a tent revival.

* We all know Reid is boring, but did Byrd really have to sleep through his speech about the troops?

The case against Lieberman...

* He ripped Barack Obama at the Republican Convention after explicitly promising not to.

* He used his recent interview with right-wing Newsmax.com to advocate more Bill Ayers campaign references and to suggest that he may defect to the Republican Party.

* It is physically impossible to caucus with the Democrats when you are across the room, wedged halfway up John McCain's ass.

Even if the two men are stripped of their committee chairmanships, Reid will undoubtedly put them to good use. Lieberman could be asked to further denigrate all that he stands for by barnstorming right-wing megachurches and appearing in their Passion Plays.

Byrd, meanwhile, could be dispatched to drought-ravaged plains states to patriotically drool on parched agriculture.

You know, it might be a good year for all Democrats after all.
