I don't care how old he is, he laid it all on the line.

CSPAN2

Edited to add: Senator Robert Byrd.

2. He is THE MAN.
I always enjoy him. This is concise and to the point (not that I don't enjoy his classical references when he is on a riff). There is a point where he needs a drink of water. The pause and his shaking two handed grasp just to get a drink tells me everything I need to know about the man. He is giving his life for his country. He will not back down! He attacks instead. Oh, the beauty of a great Senator in action.

3. The enemy of my enemy is my friend?
We gush over this man way too much.

5. No we don't, at least I don't.
I agree with this smart man who is too old to cut corners and calls 'm like he sees 'm.

6. Read his book, read his Senate speeches. He is extraordinary
and he cares deeply about our consitution and freedoms. I don't think he receives nearly the attention he deserves. Just hang out at BN for a while, get yourself a nice coffee, and browse his latest book Losing America: Confronting a Reckless and Arrogant Presidency
by Robert C. Byrd.
