I am not interested in writing a eulogy for Senator Byrd. However I grew up in West Virginia, and the modern history of my home state cannot be told without frequent references to Robert C. Byrd. There have been plenty of jokes about everything being named after him. There have been inflated stories told about his past. He has been both disparaged and praised since took office almost a quarter of a century before I was born, so I'm not really qualified to comment on any of that.
I never liked his politics, but there is no question West Virginia will miss his influence in Washington. He was undoubtedly a great orator, and a brilliant parliamentarian. He went from being a member of the KKK to endorsing a black man for president. You can't help but be inspired by his life story.
That's all I can say. Regardless of our differences, his death will be mourned in West Virginia. |
