Byrd on Alito

Senator Robert Byrd weighs in on Sam Alito:

My considered judgment from his record, from his answers to my questions, and from his obvious intelligence and sincerity, leads me to believe him to be an honorable man who loves his country, loves his Constitution and will give of his best. Can we really ask for more?

Let's see. Byrd is an ignorant fool when he questions Bush on Iraq, yet is a genius and a patriot when he praises Bush's latest selection for the high court. Hmmmm.
