Senator Robert Byrd
In its Byrd Droppings website, Citizen’s Against Government Waste (CAGW) identifies the numerous government projects Byrd secured for his home state of West Virginia.
In a news release published on Business Wire CAGW reports that it named Sen. Byrd “Porker of the Month” four times, and that an online poll crowned him “Porker of the Year” in 2002.
Indeed, the Charleston Gazette reports that Byrd wore the sobriquet “the Prince of Pork”, as a badge of honor.
Funny, I didn’t think Senator Byrd looked obese.
My bad!
