Did anyone just hear Sen. Byrd's tribute to his wife on the Senate floor?

Oh, what a loss that man has suffered. He spoke with such great love of his wife and entered into the record a poem about dying, leaving, and grief. That we all could love and be loved devotedly.

1. I know that at the mention of 'Byrd' we are supposed to dredge up

his racist past but frankly I prefer to remember him as an eloquent erudite protector of the Constitution
who was all alone at the beginnings of this 911 fascist coup in speaking on the record a warning
to all of us especially his fellow Senators who should have known better.

2. No, but I wish I had. Every time I see him I think of the grief he must

be going through.

3. I heard the whole thing. What a beautiful speech and tribute to the woman

he loved his entire life.
