The man who never met a Republican talking-point he didn't adopt, from
unemployment assistance to killing the
public option is
retiring.
Democrats on Tuesday lamented Sen. Ben Nelson's decision to retire rather than seek a third term in Nebraska, fearing the move sets up Republicans for an easy and crucial victory in their effort to reclaim control of the chamber next year.
And somehow he jeopardizes the Democrats ability to keep the Senate...and do nothing at all with it. Oh no. If only there was a
really white
douchebag knight on a white steeds flaming bag of horse manure to keep the world safe for inanity?
Mission about to be accomplished. [cross-posted at
