The Byrd Chirps In

My position is that I need to acknowledge when someone I normally disagree with (and perhaps poke fun at from time to time) takes an unexpected position - and a position I agree with.

Today is one of those times. Senator Byrd is backing Alito for Supreme Court Justice. And today, he gave a blistering (and well deserved) tongue lashing to those senators and their behavior at the Alito hearings. Kudos to you Senator Byrd.

Senator Byrd claimed that he was swamped with emails from his constituents who did not support Alito, but nonetheless, were very upset with the tone and of the hearings. My inclination is that the majority of Americans (not withstanding the far left) who watched this latest farcical theatre, agree. FlexBlue has one example of this.

Michelle Malkin has the CSPAN video link of Byrd today expressing his disapproval. Hat tip The Political Teen.

  • Well done H-H!!!

    The opposite of what we have pointed out before. Not only can we on the Right criticize our own but we can also applaud the other side when appropriate.

    I have seen no evidence that the Left can do either.

  • OOPS, My bad. Let's be fair here Anotmo ole boy, Senator Byrd has just done that hasn't he. And good for him.

    We can also acknolwedge our own mistakes. Speaking of which I have to compliment on Oprah Winfrey on having just done that herself in a very classy way. Well done Oprah!
