Who is 3rd in the line of US presidential succession? An ex-KKK Member!
 

Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., as President Pro Tempore will be elevated to third in the line of presidential succession

Wikipedia .. "In the early 1940s, when Byrd was 24 years old, he joined the Ku Klux Klan, which he had seen holding parades in Matoaka, West Virginia, as a child. His father had also been a Klan member. Byrd was unanimously elected to be the leader, known as the Exalted Cyclops, of his local chapter."

I thought it would be Nancy Pelosi, not much better but better than Byrd :(

I always thought speaker of the house is third in line ???? isn't that Nancy pelosi now ?

Incorrect. It is the Speaker of the House:

Alexander Haig is always No. 3 in charge...

Third in line would be Bird. Cheney >> Pelosi >> Byrd

Third or fourth doesnt matter its still disgusting.

I wonder why he let his membership lapse. That was a mistake.

yea it costs alot more now days to be a member

And he's a D? Why isn't there a big fuss over this?

I personally don't care, find it funny though.

Does the Exalted Cyclops only have one eye hole in his hood? Is it me or do the KKK titles resemble Dungeons and Dragons characters?

hey if a member of the hitler youth can be pope a KKK member can get president of the US.

No comment.

Damn, do I hate politics :(

She's the name we've been hearing right after that lopsided congressional election..

No surprise to me.
