Robert Byrd - Pork Fritter

In the many tributes to Senator Robert Byrd, nearly all mentioned his acumen at bringing home the bacon to West-By-God Virginia.

I think Radley Balko said it best:

So if I’m correctly reading the various tributes to Sen. Robert Byrd floating around the web this morning, I’m supposed to celebrate how the man atoned for his bigotry earlier in life by devoting the rest of his life to public service . . . where he used other people’s money to build monuments to himself.
