Expected. He’s 88 and already retired once. Good riddance.

Is this because he finally realized he has no pulse?

Here’s to the failure of that two-year mission. (To boldly go where no liberal has gone before?)

They name a train station in the middle of a swamp after him and the man still is not happy.

Good riddance indeed. Booker gets the seat more than likely so from frying pan to fire I suppose, but good riddance indeed.

And then Lautenberg will come back when Booker gets convicted.

Booker’s a democrat but he seems to be fairly decent. Lautenburg is an old leftist. Toricelli and Corzine were both corrupt.

Someone finally made it clear to Frank that Cory Booker is going to be the next senator whether he cooperates or not.

Shocking—liberal senators usually hang on until they exit in the horizontal, corpse mode.

Cory Booker seems like a decent guy. Seem like the type you would want to have a beer or 5 with.
