U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd by Kevin Dayhoff

(Un)Equal Treatment by The Press

Kevin E. Dayhoff

A short 47-word statement on Sen. Robert C. Byrd’s, (D., WV) website simply said: “The family of U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd,… tearfully announces the passing of the longest serving member of Congress in U.S. history. He was 92.


“Byrd died peacefully at approximately 3 a.m. at Inova Fairfax Hospital. Further details will be made available as soon as possible.”


That short statement contrasts greatly with the legendary eloquent oratory of the gentleman known for his extraordinarily long speeches in which he would wax poetically about the history of England and Greece, and traditions of the Senate – both the American and Roman Senate.



Of course, some of his legendary ability to stand and speak for hours on end is not necessarily the stuff of which to be proud.


It was Senator Byrd who, according to a history published by the U.S. Senate, “At 9:51 on the morning of June 10, 1964, Senator Robert C. Byrd completed an address that he had begun 14 hours and 13 minutes earlier. The subject was the pending Civil Rights Act of 1964…”


For those who study history, Senator Byrd – a Democrat – spoke in opposition to the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964.


There is much to be admired in Senator Byrd, Nov. 20, 1917 – June 28, 2010. And to be certain, you will hear and read about his fascinating life in glowing terms by the liberal media in the next several weeks to come.


Perhaps that is as it should be.

I did this piece in September 1994. The more things change the more they stay the same. At some point, the entire manner in which local government in Maryland is funded needs to be changed so that all our tax revenue does not get lost in a black hole in Annapolis and gets re-directed to the government that is closest to the citizens.
