Bye-Bye Bayh!
Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Indiana) has decided he doesn’t like the politics game anymore, so he’s going home.
Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Indiana, announced Monday afternoon that he will not seek a third term in the Senate – a major blow to Democrats worried about losses in the looming midterm elections.
“Congress is not operating as it should,” Bayh said at a news conference in Indianapolis. There is too much partisanship and “the people’s business is not getting done.”
Bayh said he loves public service, but does “not love Congress” and is “not motivated by strident partisanship or ideology.”
A couple comments, if I may.
A. Don’t let the Capitol door smack yer ass on the way out!
B. Anyone ELSE notice the CNN pro-conservative bias in the lede? I highlighted it for you, just in case. Who SAYS this is a “major blow?” The one thing Bayh did right was choose his time. Now, Republicans in the Hoosier State won’t be able to vote in the Democratic Primary to choose some chump the GOP can roll over. Instead, the Indiana Democratic Party will choose the candidate. Let’s hope they choose well. At least, better than John McCain did when he chose a running mate and an iconic “everyman” to trot around the country.
Plumber’s Crack Flushes McCain
What do you do to thank the man who GAVE you that 15 minutes of fame that you tried, with humorous results, to turn into an actual political career?
You throw him under the Tea Bagger Bus.
“John McCain is no public servant,” (Joe the Plumber) Wurzelbacher said at a campaign rally Saturday in Pennsylvania for long shot gubernatorial candidate Sam Rohrer. Later, in an interview with Pennsylvania Public Radio, he dismissed the suggestion that he owes his fame to McCain.
“I don’t owe him s-,” Wurzelbacher said. “He really screwed my life up, is how I look at it.”
So, apparently McCain isn’t batshit crazy ENOUGH for The Plumber. And neither is Sarah Palin.
Wurzelbacher said he’s also done with Sarah Palin because she is backing McCain’s re-election bid in Arizona.
So now, Joe is free to teabag his miniscule brain out as he and his compatriots search for the Perfect American Candidate for President!
You know…
The one who isn’t “one of those people” and was “born here” and isn’t a “commie fascist marxist socialist nazi” who wants to kill grandma. Someone who won’t tax nobody for nuthin’ but will increase spending on the military so we can bomb the bejeesus out of anyone who looks at us funny and them Mexicans, too! Someone who will keep gubbermint OUT of health care but won’t TOUCH Medicare or Social Security.
THAT kind of batshit crazy!
TAKE THE POLL! DO IT! DO IT NOW!!!
