    R.I.P to the former Klu Klux ? recruiter from one of the most racist states that got in trouble for repeatedly using the n-word on Sean Hannity's show........yes, these are facts.

    Still, he had this moment of Trillness before the Iraq War:

    West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin, a Democrat, has the power to appoint a successor to Byrd — but, because Byrd died at the beginning of this week and not the end, it’s not entirely clear whether that person will be a short-timer in the Senate or serve more than two years.

    Under West Virginia election law, Manchin surely would have been able to appoint someone to serve the entire balance of Byrd’s term had Byrd died after July 3 — or with less than 30 months left to go on a term that expires Jan. 3, 2013. But with more than 30 months left of an “unexpired term,” the law stipulates that he tap an interim successor until an election can be held.

    The KKK youth always haunted him but he did renounce for the last 60 years, though he was still a man somewhat stuck in the past as evidenced by some of his gaffs.
    But he voted for populist legislation for many years and came out against the Iraq war when most of the other democrats in the senate gave the green light in 2002. Props to him for that and RIP.
