Hasn't been since the 1940's or something.  He's long ago renounced that and plays nice with everyone, unless they are trying to keep a federal project out of WV.<br/><br/>Bobby Byrd *is* the Second Coming in WV.  Just about every other building in the state has his name on it somewhere.  He's the king of pork - when Bobby Byrd retires or kicks it, the state will come to a grinding halt.  We have noticably better highways than most of our neighboring states because they get friggin' redone every year, just about.  Even though they are virtually empty.  It's always a shock to drive over the border into Pennsylvania - their roads are like something out of a warzone compared to ours.]]></content><score></score><crdate>5/19/2008 6:28:13 PM</crdate><rssdate></rssdate><atomdate>2008-05-19T18:28:13+01:00</atomdate></comment><comment><id>260533</id><url>http://www.plime.com/politics/l/62382/1/xml_widget.rss#q4</url><title><![CDATA[shep182 @ 5/19/2008 5:49:58 PM]]></title><content><![CDATA[<div class='qp pad d'><a class="page-dull td" href="/politics/l/62382/1/#q3"><b>&laquo;</b></a>&nbsp;<i><b>JoshSF49</b>&#160;:&#160;A member of the KKK?
