Read this Mark Steyn column and came up short.

What happened on 9/11, said Rice, was an attempt to "decapitate us." If not for quirks of flight scheduling and al-Qaida personnel management, the headlines would have included "The Vice-President is still among the missing, presumed dead" or – if they'd got really lucky – that the presidency had passed to the president pro tem of the Senate, octogenarian West Virginia Democrat, porkmeister and former Klansman Robert Byrd.

Ummm...order of succession: VP, Speaker of the House, President pro tempore of the Senate...I'll be damned. Robert Byrd. The man who's taken to singing on the floor of the Senate could, at a time of the greatest national crisis our nation has seen, could be in line to lead the nation. "Please Senator Byrd, lead us."

Shudder.

Update: Fixed the link.

Steyn link worketh not.

Byrd? The founding fathers need to rethink that succession plan,

Damn. I've been doing that a lot with JPost links lately. Thanks and fixed.

Yikes, that would have been bad news.

"I don't hate anybody... [but] there are white n*****s. I've seen a lot of white n*****s in my time; I'm going to use that word."
--Senator Robert C. Byrd in a Fox News Interview, March 4, 2001
