ARGGHHH! No more Dingells!
Good riddance to him and all the hanging on Dingleberries.
Just when I was about to say, “Well, I guess he decided he’s done as much damage as he can do....”
sixty years in the House is fifty-six years too many.
Wife is planning on running?
What are we building here? Royalty?
*sigh* As if more proof there is something seriously wrong with our political system were needed.
IMO, another rat fleeing the sinking Obamacare ship.
The 12th Empire has been in Dingell hands for 81 years now.
Reminds me of the post Brezhnev Politburo. The MI ‘Rat gerontocracy slowly shambles to the grave, one after the other - Carl Levin, John Dingell. Who’s next? Sander Levin? John Conyers?
More good new! Congress members should be retired by voters after serving a maximum of six terms. If a congressman can’t perform in 12 years, he needs to go home.

Or maybe they’re just trying to build a dynasty like the Clintons and the Bushes.
On the bright side, its unlikely the wife of the second longest serving member of congress (John Conyers) would ever be able to get elected to a congressional seat.
RE: IMO, another rat fleeing the sinking Obamacare ship.
The man is 87 for crying out loud.
It’s predicted that the GOP has a good chance of taking the Senate Seat in Michigan this year. With it being a midterm election, where the uninformed voters stay home, and the political mood being what it is in MI right now......This could be another pick-up seat in the House of Representatives for the GOP this year. Whaddya think S&F?
I thought he’d hold out, try to die n office, to get the $175K congressional emolument..
Time to put Dingell (Norwood) in that lockbox.
He is the reason for the dingleberry!lol
