  • This is what our government looks like. People too old to even talk.

  • I know he is old, but damn he must take alot of medication.

  • ROT IN HELL ROBERT BYRD. HAHAAAHAAAA IM GLAD HE'S DEAD

  • Somehow this really made my day.

  • In all seriousness, was he actually okay? It's kind of sad to watch this and see that no one was really doing anything. I thought the man was going to have a heart attack or something.

  • i wonder if he has worked a day in his life.

  • Rest in peace, friend.

  • 1:40 WTF is he just standing there doing? Is he eating some kind of sour candy? Watch his face LOL.

  • fuck this white nigger i'm glad this old prick is dead

  • It took him 4 minutes to say "We should address each other in the third person so we are less likely to get angry."

  • The time he takes making his point is time well spent because he adresses more serious topics

  • Whatever point he was trying to make, I have no idea.

  • And some wonder why things don't get done in the Congress?

    Wonder no more.

  • Glad that creep's dead.

  • @0skizziks0 Why?

  • the senator from Timbuktu he refered to is Senator barack obama if any of you took notice.. this guy is old but very articulate minded..yes, slow, but effective.

  • I laughed when the camera panned out 0:59 and it was STILL silent.

  • I really hope this is a fillibuster... otherwise everyone in the room is an ass for not calling this shit bag clansman an ambulance.

  • BARBARIC!!!!

  • YAWN.......

  • I knew he talked slowly... but wow... that 3:46 of talking should have been under a minute...

  • it's William Shatner!

  • "UGH! Why... why are you so old?" - Gru

  • Mr.President,let Senators be aware that we,senators,must and should address one another in the third person.The reason for this:it minimizes the chances of having on display bad tempers.Are Senators aware that senators should address one another? How? Not in the second person, but rather in the third person. Is the Senator from Timbuktu aware of that rule?Is the Senator from West Virginia aware of the rule?Yes, the senator from West Virginia, Mr. President, will take his seat.I thank the chair.

  • The republic is better for his death.

  • dying is the best thing this old jew-lover ever didn

    actually i might like him more if he WERE kkk

  • @MengeleRitusAmgNatns What relevence has your anti- semitism here?

  • @nathanbridle  um anti-semitism is ALWAYS relevant...btw, Hitler did HIS part...now time for us 2 do OURS

    :)

  • When you hit the Vuvuzela button during his pauses it almost recreates the sound in his head.

  • @tabber87 hahahaha

  • Prayers to the family of Senator Byrd.

  • Robert Byrd left the world today, but he'll never leave West Virginia and everything he did for this state. Yes he was in the KKK, but I actually met Byrd and he shook my hand and said nice things to me and i'm hispanic. I think those days were long past him. I choose to remember who I met in 2008; a frail, old grandpa type with a big smile and the best intentions for the state I live in.

  • You shall be missed, Senator Byrd!

  • Was he in pain at :40 thru :59? Love his speeches, although incoherent at times. For some reason I have a respect for him. And, I get a few laughs too.

  • GREATEST SPEECH EVER GIVEN!!! lol thumbs up if u agree

  • He served in the KKK. Look it up you fools.

  • @billsr35 And he quit and became a better man.

    You can shut up now, fool.

  • 0:27 And shuuuud... adreyuss... wun anuthur... wait, havin an orgasm...

  • I could literally watch this man all day.

  • I fuckin love this guy...

  • Its good to see the senate is talking about the important issues. And in addition to that, for gods sake West Virginia, please let this man die peacefully and do not put his ancient ass back into office. It took him over 3 minutes to say about 4 sentences. Forcing people to listen to him speak is simply barbaric.

  • Fuck i think he just died an came back to us in this video lol

  • I can just picture this man and many of his fellow Democratic buddy's in white sheets back in the day.

  • Can anyone tell me why people constantly misspell "Ku Klux Klan" as "Klu Klux Klan"?

  • good lord, sen. byrd. was that a stand up routine?

    time to make space for a fresh face innit, bobby?

  • I just read some comments and no one here is showing Senator Byrd the respect he deserves....

    Frankly, I find your lack of respect to be BARBARIC!!!!!

  • No member of Klu Klux Klan deserves any respect.

  • @victav sure but sen byrd shd hv done more 2 expel the jews

    then i wd have liked him

    plus all he did was spend all his time tryin 2 get more fed money for his state

  • @victav HE'S A CHILD MOLESTING PIECE OF DOG SHIT.  research Cathy O'Brien.

  • @victav

    Agreed. Im as hardcore Libertarian Republican you can get.

    In my opinion, it goes like this

    1. B. Goldwater

    2. R. Reagan

    3. Robert Byrd

    These people are heroes.

  • Jeez its time for this old goat to go already!

  • are senators aware that senators should address one another...how?

  • i rofled through the video

  • Where's that guy on the fringes with the cane that has a hook on it. And why doesn't he jerk this senile ass off the floor.I know somebodys gonna tell me what a great guy he's been for WV.Fourth in line to be president? This is how libs plan to stay in power.The next ones worse than the one before.

  • How did this not make the front page?!?!?!

  • Question: Is Byrd technically correct in asking himself to take his seat? He is the President Pro Tempore...

  • TERM LIMITS!!!!!!!!!!

    If you are voting this senile character in, shame on you. Mumbling incoherently, sleeping, and obvious senility on the senate floor. Fourth in line for the presidency!!!!! Horribly bizarre joke.

  • TERM LIMITS!!!!!!!!!!

    KU KUX KLAN. KKK- Sen Byrd. The OLD B*STARD NEEDS TO GO!

  • let's stick to the constitution, not your whim. on a side note, you mean Klux?

  • let's stick to the constitution, not your whim.

    the OLD bastard NEEDS to go, and YOU know it

  • yes, lets. there's nothing mandating that he vacate the post that, health aside, he executes as a fully functioning senator.

  • Democrats only "stick to the Constitution" when it serves their will.

    And, as in the case of Sen. Byrd, they are only opposed to racism when such opposition serves them.

  • Comment removed

  • @manbearpig8402

    You really can't blame West Virginians for continually voting him in. He brings hundreds of millions in earmarks and pork that would otherwise never go there. When he dies (obviously that is when his term will be over), West Virginia will not get anywhere near the amount of federal money they get now. It's pathetic that he is still in ANY office, let alone United States senate and 4th in line for the presidency. Term/age limits are definitely needed. watch?v=-M83IXf4uEs

  • i think his capacity to help an undereducated and vastly undermonied state and his capacity to act as a senator even at 92 is anything but pathetic. On a side note, you mean third in line?

  • it's clearly a matter of physical health that day, not mental health. just like the entirety of his career in the senate, he continues to act as a meaningful member of senate. Whether or not an older individual is sick does not take away from his mental capacity. On a side note, I am against a number of Byrd's views and action, but not his capacity as a senator and human being. What he said was slow, not incoherent. On another side note, you mean third in line?

  • Comment removed

  • senator from timbuktu?? wtf??

  • I can't believe he got reelected.

  • To be robert byrd was never an active member of the KKK. He's actually quite ashamed of his old membership.

  • 0:30-1:10 doesnt say anything! just sniffles a ton and then apparently falls asleep.

    TERM LIMITS

  • Oh, cmon, leave the old guy alone. He's better qualified to be president than Sarah Palin!

  • It's people like you that are going to bring about the fall of thie great Country.

    I'm starting to regret having children for what my generation is handing them and I'm ASHAMED, DEEPLY ASHAMED of my Generation.

  • Goddamn, the guy's 92. How many 92 year olds are fit enough to stay awake during a sentence, let alone decide legislation?

  • What is this speech all about?

  • he said that senators should be reminded to address one another in the third person, mostly because it helps people maintain their temper when they address each other that way. even though he was ill, he felt he needed to say it, since other senators seem so quick to forget.

  • Did he just fall asleep standing up?

  • This man is fourth in line for Presidential succession. First comes VP, then comes Speaker of the House, then comes President Pro Tempore. So if you ever want to wish ill on the President, think twice. ;)

  • dear robert,

    stop being so old

    love,

    sam

  • @angrymannumber1 He just did. OH SNAP!

  • @angrymannumber1 You just wait you'll grow one day (if you don't die before your time due to disrespect) you'll also be old and see how it feels.

  • @Imforeverone88 I had no idea that you could die from disrespect. I guess i missed that lecture in physiology.

    ME: "Just give it to me straight, Doc."

    DOCTOR: "Well, Sam, it looks like you got an extremely bad case of the disrespect. You have 3 months to live."

    yeah right...

  • Simply Barbaric!

  • Barbaric!!!

  • Looks like he may have just had a bad cold during this session. Look at other videos of Byrd, he doesn't struggle like this in any other.

  • So when C-SPAN has those long pauses with no one speaking it's because Robert Byrd is forming a sentence.

  • why are you guys so immature...

    this guy is like sooo resepected in the senate

  • which is the reason why the senates not respected by the public

  • Sure he is respected in his state, just look at all the monuments he has erected to himself---- of course we all forget the burning crosses he once errected.

  • Iam going to that website simply love senator BYRD

  • The barbaric speech had be in hysterics. This one made me feel sad for him. He really needs to retire. The poor guy.

  • He writes our laws. He votes on important issues that affect all of us. He holds a leadership position in the U.S. Senate. He allocates billions of dollars to his home state. If this doesn't scare the crap out of you, you must be dead. We need change, but not Obama's kind of change. Let's change the faces in Washington. Let's implement term limits. Let's get our heads out of our asses and pay attention. Let's take our government back!

  • woah man yeah! let's march on Washington!

  • BARBARIC!!!

  • wut the heck is senator bryd trying to say?????????

    he's too old to be a senator....he can't function properly anymore and he should retire!

  • 2003 SenatoR Bryd was the one who stated that George W. neglected to put the Iraq war ..in the fucking budget-go to his website, read his speeches- will be the greatest history lesson you've ever received...or don't. But DON'T FUCKING MAKE FUN OF HIM

  • Oh?

    I'll make fun of this nasty Klu Klux Klansman all I want !

  • Don't make fun of him- he's a great man & even though sick he stands up for what is right. Go to his website & read his speeches

  • You cannot honestly tell me after watching this that you don't think it'd be a good idea for him to retire. The man can barely construct a coherent sentence.

  • This Klu Klux Klansman stands up for what he THINKS is right.

  • i think this clown was doing coke be4 his speech

  • HE SPEAKS SOOOOO SLOWLY!!!!!

  • Byrd must keep white powder in the pocket of the white sheets he wears

  • Why he's just as BARBARIC as BARBERELLA!!!!

  • lmao

  • what a cunt BARBARIC! much love

  • I always wondered what a politican would do if he had to sneeze in the middle of a speech.

  • Is he sick ? What is wrong with him ?

    Timbuktu is in ??? I forgot.... Africa somewhere.... WTF. If your sick can´t you take out sickdays or something ? Go home, lay down, drink some tea and get better !

  • Can't fix old with a cup of tea.

  • Too bad he didn't peel off a big ole fart somewhere in the middle of this narcoleptic stem winder.

    That would have been the icing on the cake...

    "Can somebody roll Gramps back to the KKK rest home, please?"

  • This superannuated simpleton is three heartbeats away from the presidency. Pelosi is 2 beats away. Don't know which is worse. Now that clean articulate Obama won, Biden is one heartbeat away.

    Make sure Obama, Biden, and Pelosi, all three of them don't go on a business trip to Bosnia (like Ron Brown) in the same plane.

    What's really odd, is that this video isn't seen by more people.

    This is actually beyond *funny haha*, into *funny *disturbing*

  • EPIC, the silence is golden

  • Is he sucking on a lemon?

  • He makes a good point, I would much rather be on the senate still, than ever be in a nursing home. This is much more interesting than what is normally on CSPAN

  • Did anyone else notice the noise he made at 3:00? Wtf was that lol

  • i think he said "rule" lol

  • If this guy's not brain dead already, he's halfway there.

  • What an old geezer.

  • Nice. Imagine the attention he'd get on late night TV if he was a Republican.

  • "How can I wake this old guy up???, o yea I'll cough REALLY loudly" 1:04

    LOL!!!

  • 1:52

  • AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAH­A

  • Oh man that made my day LOL!

    What the heck is that dude doing outside his nursing home?

  • Term Limits, need i say more

  • I think it's actually cruel to let him continue to serve. He's done his bit after all!

  • i agree with you

  • unfortunate waste of tax dollars... and proof that our country is filled with stupid people.. and led by stupid people.

  • Oh my God what is this guy saying?! Lol

  • BYRD 2012 WE CAN DO IT

  • roflmaloffle

  • ROFL

  • Your comment is full of win.

  • He sounds just like the rest of west virginia.

  • I don't care if he made a mistake 50 years ago, Senator Byrd will continue to fight for what's right til the day he dies, thx for posting this

  • this is so fucking AWESOME

  • this "senile ex kkk member" was more right than most of the members of congress on the Iraq war.

  • This silly simpleton is three heartbeats away from the presidency. Pelosi is 2 beats away. Don't know which is worse. If clean articulate Obama wins,  Biden will be one heartbeat away.

  • is he joking around, or is he seriously having mental issues.

  • well mbvtx77, you need to shut your mouth. How about everybody addressing you as the late mbvtx77? Would you like that? Didn't think so!

  • Byrd could have had a great career in Stand Up Comedy!

  • senator byrd is a silly goose

  • Judas Priest! I never saw him "in action". This guy, this guy is weird. Damn.

  • Notice the empty seats behind him. I'm sure when the other Senators see that Byrd will have the floor, they all have "other duties to attend to" (read: head over the the local watering hole and put distance between them and this old fool).

    If the camera were turned 180 degrees, you'd see his page, an aide and the cleaning lady.

  • are you fucking kidding me. how about somebody tell the senator from west vagina to sit down and shut the fuck up. there's serious business to conduct everyday. we don't need this incoherent dumbass standing up and taking a few precious hours away to tell someone how to address him. i can't wait until we can address him as the late bob byrd.

  • Dear mbvtx77, If you had just a little education you'd realize you will never be as intelligent as Senator Byrd, NEVER!!!

  • if this guy signifies intelligence then i'm just fine with being an idiot. who would want to be like him??

  • lol

  • what is he eating too...

  • holy fuck what is going on here...is he in the process of sneezing or getting ready to croak?

  • Wow. Is that a stroke in progress. It's too bad all our government officials aren't in this state. We would have no fear of the New World Order or a Police State or the death of our Constitution. They'd all be too busy waiting for some poor nurse to change them!

  • that was a great speech. byrd for president, seriously. he's not an 'all-talk, no action' kind of guy.

  • There are health checks sportsmen have to clear before they can play. Why is this old senile racist fool not forced out? Clearly he is unfit and a waste of the taxpayers money.

  • It's worse than that - search "Trance Formation of America" and see the part Sen Byrd has played in behind-the-scenes government mind control.

  • Poor Robert Byrd. I agree with his point that congressmen should address one another in the third person, but getting it out in 3:45 is way too long.

  • My God, is he in pain? Or finding it very hard to swallow his phlegm?

  • I have so much respect for Robert Byrd, but he is just looking horrible here. He is a political institution, but he could only get in about 6 words in 3 minutes. As a man following his career for so long, this is truly tough to watch.

  • The Senator from West Virginia is not aware.

  • Did you look at the date this video was added? This did not happen after Kennedy's diagnosis. You must be too stupid to realize that not everything you watch is happening at the moment you are watching it. Byrd is acting this way because he is 90 years old and isn't capable of being in the senate any longer.

  • 100% correct.

  • "When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not ehh."

  • Reminds me of the Trees on Lord of the Rings.

  • senator from timbuktu?!? what the fuck=?/

  • He is making an example.

  • holyfucking waste of air.what a bloated nothing.he wasted everyones time on that committee to babble incoherently about some rule that deals with addressing fellow senators.what a colossal fool.

  • This guy seriously needs to call it quits. Its really hard to even watch this guy.

  • It looks like he had a stroke like 40 seconds in... :(

  • I thought he fell asleep.

  • this may be his Parkinson's.
