Roll Call (sub. req.) reports that disgraced congressman Rick Renzi (AZ-01) is calling it quits. He won’t seek re-election. Add him to a growing list that already includes Reps. Ray LaHood (IL-18), Deborah Pryce (OH-15) and Chip Pickering (MS-03). Meanwhile, former speaker Denny Hastert (IL-14) is going to resign this November.
The Republican leadership that brought us the Bush era has been decimated. If we can rid ourselves of Mitch McConnell we’ll complete the job.
Can we then get rid of his sorry ass wife who is head of the Labor Dept? Who never has been overly concerned about workers rights…what a surprise.(not)
she’ll be gone soon enough.
You mean the wife, right? There’s talk in some corners of Mitch wearing the apron in the family… Just a marriage of convenience? Anyway, it wouldn’t surprise me to find more come out later in the election year about ol’ Mitch and his fetishes.
My question is do you think we can get rid of the blue dogs? I do not trust them either.
One or two maybe.
that none of them can use that awful vodka ad dog as their mascot again.
From Wiki, here they are:
Former members of Congress who were once prominent Blue Dog Coalition members include:
Loretta Sanchez–I remember the big hooplah about her whipping the then nutty Repub holding the seat when I was going to graduate school. Now, I wish her ass could be gone.
Who’s in trouble here?
Honestly, the only Democrat in America that is really in trouble is William Jefferson.
Although guys like Chris Carney and Zach Space will have trouble holding seats that would be Republican if the incumbents had not been crooks.
When words and ideas won’t do, round up actors. Expect a whole generation of second and third-rung actors to be running for Congress for the GOP, along with unfunny standup comics, bad fiction writers, etc.
Is Punky Brewster old enough yet?
