2. It's fun watching Frist now
Watching him strut and speaking so lofty and knowing that Byrd will soon reduce him to a slithering wimp. Heh...heh...heh...snort!

13. First time I didn't hear Byrd ask that the leaders remain
So it makes it all the more interesting that Frist left the floor.

16. Byrd's doing great.
At first I thought Byrd came across as pretty silly, talking like Jimmy Stewart's kindly old grandpa. But in the eyes of the "old Suth'ner" crowd (of which he is one) he probably looks a lot more respectable than Frist does.

23. Byrd hit all the high and low points in a way that will resonate
Edited on Thu May-12-05 09:18 PM by Sydnie
with the southerners for sure. The right time to raise your voice, the bible and the learned advice ... all of it will play with the older crowds. He rambles a bit more than he used to, but goodness, when he gets to the point, you know you've been taken somewhere and aren't apt to forget the trip to quickly.

My admiration grows for him daily. I am originially from WV and knew him when I was a child. He gets better with age! He sure did EV proud today!

:loveya: for you Robert!
