Sources say that Sen. Inouye will lead the Appropriations Committee

WASHINGTON » The inside-Washington newspaper Politico, citing anonymous sources, reported yesterday that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is planning to ease U.S. Sen. Robert Byrd from the chairmanship of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee and award it to U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye of Hawaii.

Byrd, D-W.Va., the elderly and embattled Democratic Appropriations panel chairman, criticized Reid, D-Nev., yesterday over the news account.

Reid spokesman Jim Manley said: "Unless something changes, Senator Byrd will continue to be chairman of the Appropriations Committee."

Personally, I think Senator Inouye is about as corrupt as Ted Stevens and if this rumor is true, then this is proof that Harry Reid is nothing more than a corrupt enabler.

1. Harry Reid may not be the next leader!

[harmonicon]

14. god, I hope so

He's been a miserable failure.

[az chela]

21. he has his nose so far up pelosi's ass he cant breathe

I hope they are both replaced,they are bush lovers

[Robbien]

15. Next in line is Durbin

or do you mean perhaps something may be in the works for Clinton

[blm]

17. Durbin - it's his if he wants it - and he wants it.

23. I'd love to see Senator Clinton

take Reid's position.

[IndianaJones]

2. awesome news. if only he would leave the Senate. nt.

[tekisui]

3. I think his mind is going.

It takes him 30 minutes to say one sentence, and he'll end up crying every time.

[IndianaJones]

6. it is long overdue that he step down. nt.

[pocoloco]

4. Reid is the one who needs to be "eased" out

and dropped his fucking ear!

[NV Whino]

5. Senator Byrd has done a great deal of good

but I think it is time for him to retire.

[LiberalFighter]

7. Agreed. I hope WV elects a person as good or better to replace him.

[Barrett808]

8. I'll never forget his filibuster against the invasion of Iraq

It was quite moving.

[Alpharetta]

16. Byrd was the picture of passion and courage. Reid, not

I won't forget it either. So many weak leaders failed us then. Byrd stood strong.

[JitterbugPerfume]

9. so sad

to see him go

[peacetalksforall]

10. Reid needs to go. Byrd can stay.

Inouye - there has to be someone better.

I despise the way Reid and Inouye vote.

Byrd - will be more appreciated by the youth within a few years.

11. Dump Reid first

He is the WORST leader possible - do-nothing, cave-in-to-BushCo on demand, ineffective, DINO who should not even be considered a leader. I love Robert Byrd, but he probably does not deserve a chairmanship in his advanced years.... But Reid - dump him now!

[crossroads]

22. Hear Hear! I agree...

[SomeGuyInEagan]

12. Dump Reid ... fast.

[LostinVA]

13. He has done some good, but he is anti choice and anti GLBT rights

I have no problem with it.

[Pastiche423]

18. Dump Reid and keep The Senator

Senator Byrd was the ONLY representative, senate or house that literally stood up for us for weeks before the vote on the IWR. He stood on the senate floor alone, speaking eloquently and passionately about his great knowledge of our Constitution and warned of the disaster a war w/Iraq would bring.

Adding insult to injury, Reid wants to appoint a DINO to Senator Byrd's chairmanship.

Reid needs to go!

[LeftyMom]

19. This means war. WAR!

:rofl:

24. You can see Ted Stevens BFF Inouye lurking behind him in the video

For a real glimpse of the real Inouye, check this scary video out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug0IL7k3elQ">Oliver North Questioned - Rex 84 Exposed During Iran Contra

Watch as Inouye skillfully protects Ollie North when questioned about his role in the Continuity of Government plan AKA REX 84

20. And yet LieberBush remains

secure in his committee position? What the FUCK is wrong with Reid and with this picture????
