Anyone catch Robert Byrd on C-Span last night?

[waterman]

I've been trying to find a thread on it or at least a transcript and have been unable to so far. Would appreciate any help. He knocked another one out of the park.

1. It was like watching history in the making...

In the future, when Bob Byrd is dead and gone, they will revive that speech as his testimony to the sanctity of the Constitution...

3. I had the same feeling watching him...

our great-great grandchildren are going to puzzle over why a talking ape in a suit can get 10 million people to watch him, but Byrd speaks to a near-empty chamber :evilfrown:

6. Our Great-Great Grandchildren will be more worried about

staying out of the Gulags (although they will have a fresh new Orwellian, "marketing-friendly" name for them), I'm afraid.

2. He was AWESOME!

thread here:

there are several others but they are locked now


I'm going to grab the transcript when it's available, I gotta print this one out! Wish I had been able to tape it, Byrd was doing EXACTLY what ALL Dems should be doing right now, and he did it pretty damn eloquently, too

:yourock: Sen Byrd!

4. I felt like standing and cheering for the guy.

Nearly brought tears to my eyes. Yes, when he finally passes on, an important piece of our system goes with him. I did find a transcript on his website:http://www.senate.gov/~byrd/byrd_speeches/byrd_speeches_2004_january/byrd_speeches_2004_january_lis/byrd_speeches_2004_january_lis_1.html

7. Byrd says what most Democrats feel

few of our Democratic Senators stand up to the repugs, thank God we still have the likes of Kennedy and Byrd, Dashle on the other hand seems weak and lacks the grand oratory style that Kennedy and Byrd deliver............We need more strident voices to get the message across

[waterman]

9. I fully agree with every word

Cheers to you!
