It was out of context. Forbes was speaking of the good news that the
financial bill now in the Senate may fail and said that it was because of
Byrd's death and Scott Brown having second thoughts on it.

Otto's source is the website "thinkprogress" who claimed Forbes'
"Good News" claim was that Byrd died.

You can never trust Otto's sources for truthfulness. That and the fact he
rarely reads more than a couple words in any of the articles he cites. Look
at his silly claim that Harry Byrd Sr. was Robert Byrd's father and then,
when it was shown that Robert Byrd's father was a farmer, he dropped back
and punted with the wild claim that he meant Harry Byrd Sr. was Robert
Byrd's uncle when the wikipedia article he linked to said explicitly that
the two were not related.

He has now gone completely silent on the matter.
