Obey Said What
"He’s one of my heroes . . ."
That quote comes from The Hill, a newspaper in Washington, and it belongs to David Obey. The article is commending Robert Byrd for serving in the United States Senate longer than anyone else, 17,327 days, that's 47.5 years - or just 10 years longer than David Obey's had his backside planted in his seat in the U.S. House.
At least Obey is consistent. He idolizes someone who's served nearly half a century in Congress and he's been quoted as saying he wants to die on the floor of the House "kicking the hell out of somebody." If he lives to be as old as Robert Byrd, 89, he will have served in the house for 59 years, that's 5 years longer than if Byrd lives to be 95 and completes the term he is running for this year.
Let's put an end to a dream of 6 decades in the United States House.

I heard Nick Reid on 55 Feedback this morning and he sounds good. It looks like we finally have someone to take on Obey. By the way I'm glad Obey lists a former grand wizard of the KKK among his idols.
