Senator Byrd WV knows how to give a good irate speech:

"Two weeks ago, the Republican National Committee sent a mass mailing to West Virginians suggesting that liberals – in other words, everyone but Republicans -- are out to ban the Bible. Can you imagine? Ban the Bible? What a ridiculous claim. It is a flat-out, no-doubt-about-it, silly, sophomoric charge. The Republican National Committee is spreading this tripe to smear Democrats, and the President ought to demand that the Republican National Committee apologize to the people of West Virginia."
Senator Byrd delivered the remarks above in the Senate, highly critical of a flyer paid for by the Republican National Committee that suggests that Democratic officials want to ban the Bible.
