This one is on dogfighting.
Byrd’s motto: if it’s worth saying once, it’s worth saying three times.
Worth saying three times.
Do you hear me? It’s worth saying three times!
Is it wrong of me to laugh? Because I did.
UPDATE: I hereby dub Sen. Byrd “Bobby Three Times.” I’m gonna go get the papers, get the papers. Get the papers!

Did Sen. Byrd harken back to his days in the KKK, the KKK, I say, the KKK ? Did he recall his days where he was the Chief Executive Bedsheet, Grand Kleagle, Pubah in Charge of Diversity Issues ?

I am not a doctor but …. Perseveration is a sign of mental deterioration. What say you, MD in Philly?

He reminded me of Dr. Strangelove’s hand, which seemed to have a mind of its own.
“I’m really trying….I say, I am really trying….I’m really trying not to say what race that sports figure is!”

Three Times its like a J Curtis post

Robert Byrd is a senior member of the self styled and so called “Greatest Debating Club in the World”? It’s painful to listen to many of them. [Can you think Slow Joe Biden and the Boston Bloviator-and his Jr. Sidekick?]
Byrd sounds like a broken down old guy whose mind went round the bend about 15 years ago. Patterico did not mention the Byrd performance of a couple of days ago at the Harry Reid pajama party. Byrd was trying to talk about the National Intelligence Estimate and Al Qaeda. He fumbled for his papers and repeated every phrase three times. It’s not just a rhetorical trick; he can read about four words, then repeats those same four words three times–while frantically trying to find the next four words in the papers his staff had prepared for him.
This is a guy who can think in four word bites–then his mind needs a nap.

what was it that he called bill clinton that time?
we’re all gonna get old, if we’re lucky enough, and we’re all gonna lose a step or two up there between our ears, but we won’t all be u.s. senators when this happens!

Was his hood clean?

Much as I despise the old geezer, it is downright embarrassing to watch a man who is obviously suffering from a bad case of slipping mental clutches rant on like that.
It all reminds me of the time a (congressman? I think it was a congressman) from my home state of California was trying to come back after some major brain surgery or some such. He made a speech on television, and it was so sad to watch. He died not long after that.

#10,
Wasn’t that Sen. Clair Engel?
Bobby Byrd: It’s just sad, sad, sad!

With Senator Byrd, if it’s worth saying once, it’s worth saying it three times slowly. Don’t forget, with Senator Byrd, if it’s worth saying it three times slowly, it’s worth spelling out even more slowly.
A year or so ago, Laura Ingraham spent a half an hour covering Senator Byrd going on and on from the well of the Senator about The Canterbury Tales. I laughed hysterically for a half an hour.

In Senator Byrd’s defense, he thought the KKK was an integrated college fraternity. He never inhaled cannabis the entire time he was in the KKK, and all he really did was get a blow job from the Invisible Wizard. Anyway, this is old news, and the only reason people bring it up is that they’re afraid of a strong woman. So there. So there. So there.
