Byrd, Rockefeller Sign Limbaugh Letter

And, no, not the one the talk radio kingpin sends to subscribers.

Sens. Robert C. Byrd and Jay Rockefeller were among 41 Democrats in their chamber to join Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., in a letter of complaint to Clear Channel Communications CEO Mark Mays.

Reid and other Democrats called on Mays earlier this month to repudiate the "phony soldiers" remarks made by Limbaugh in late September. CNN is among those with a story about the comments, and Mays' response to the letter.

The Oct. 2 letter to Mays is being auctioned off on eBay, with proceeds to benefit the Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation. The bidding, which ends Oct. 19, has reached $56,000.

Byrd and Rockefeller, both D-W.Va., had earlier voted against a resolution meant to respond to the newspaper ad from MoveOn.org critical of U.S. Army Gen. David Petraeus.
