Robert Byrd Is So Un-Funny I Can't Even Laugh

Check out this video of Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) bragging (and receiving applause, of course) about bringing $36 million of federal taxpayer money to Marshall University. Multiply this by 100 senators and you can see why we've got a government spending problem in Washington.

And what's with the guy behind him in the green tie? He's either faking it, or he hasn't heard a joke that's actually funny since 1977. And given the reaction of the audience, neither have they.
