Byrd in Flight
It was an astounding sight! Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), a one-time grand kleagle in the Ku Klux Klan, stood in the US Senate to rail against Dr. Condoleezza Rice, a black woman, who was nominated to be secretary of state.
In the good old days, Byrd would have worn a sheet and urged a lynching. In these modern times, he just fulminates. That is progress!
