Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

Sure looks like a lot of the Democrat incumbents have seen the handwriting on the wall, and have realized that their days in Congress are numbered. They have been weighed in the balances by their constituents, and are found wanting. As a result, Democrat incumbents are dropping like flies.

The latest? Illinois Sen. Evan Bayh,who joins Patches Kennedy of RI, Chris Dodd of CT, and Sen. Byron Dorgan of ND in unexpected retirement.

Next on the list could be my own representative, William Delahunt of Massachusetts, who, after Scott Brown swept to a Senate victory last month, and amid some possibly troubling information swirling around the Amy Bishop tenure shootings, has indicated that he also may not seek re-election.

Bear in mind, at least, that perhaps Democrats have gotten wind of an attempted usurpation by Obama of all American power, and want to get out before the Civil War begins in earnest.

This is why Rahm has initiated “Operation Albatross.” I broke this story on February 6, 2010, but I don’t get no respect. I guess I’ll have to wait until it happens and then say ITYS.

parsy, who sounded the warning

Haven’t you heard yet? Even if Obozo changed parties no one would buy a scheme like that.

What choice do they have? Bayh is quitting. Kennedy is quitting. Boxer is in trouble. Dozens other. He has to do something big or the Dems are about to sink like a stone.

parsy, who thinks he will take one for the party

Thank you fellas. Only when the end result is the same as the original Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin event will I be satisfied. Life in prison would also be acceptable for those involved.
