The 'Big Daddy' Speech
Via the
Club for Growth: “According to a West Virginia newspaper, Senator Robert "King of Pork" Byrd
has already secured more than $110 million in pork for his home state. And this is before the appropriations process has even begun!”
In light of the earmark reform debate currently going on in the Senate, it seems appropriate to resurrect the "Big Daddy" speech given by Robert Byrd. He's the one most strenuously opposed to reform and he's the one most adamantly opposed to Gregg's rescission amendment. This video clip is a classic.
