Buh-bye.

[InTheRight]

Perhaps Gore could give him some suggestions.

[reaganaut]

Good riddance. My mother has been doing the happy dance since election night. She knew Dashole in college and hated him even then.

[jocon307]

He sounds deeply saddened.

[silent_jonny]

She knew Dashole in college and hated him even then.

Does she have any good stories?

[onyx]

I've been dancing too,
and I have never met the little imp.

Daschle’s thoughts? Gee, maybe if I wasn’t a heretical scandal mongering pro-baby killing pile of garbage, I might have been reelected.

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

[Emmett McCarthy]

Yeah, like Gore, he could get real fat, grow a beard and sit out in his house in Belle Meade smokin' dope.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Daschle said he has no regrets about his last political campaign, saying his 193,000 votes exceeded his goal of about 190,000. "The other side just did a little bit better job at getting the truth out than we did at lying."

[rodguy911]

Thank god he lost. Maybe his wife can buy him a booster chair and give him an office in her company.

[Cicero]

Unfair to attack his wife? After she took advantage of his political clout to milk millions a year from businesses? After she was responsible for the deaths of several park rangers?

[Timedrifter]

I am surprised that none of the usual suspects are demanding a recount in South Dakota.

[Torie]

I'm also looking at the investment world

That seems to be the default choice these days for high profile politicians out of office. It is the quickest way of converting one's contacts into money - even better than lobbying, which is not a choice for this guy given that his wife is already doing it.

[carlr]

Does Daschle`s comments concerning his wife mean he did`nt vote for the Kerry/Edwards (your daughter is a lesbian Mr Cheney ha ha) ticket?

[Theresawithanh]

"I do want to affiliate in some way professionally with public policy," Huh? Pompous little man!

Second high to President Bush winning re-election was the defeat of Tiny Tommy.

Daschle said he has no regrets about his last political campaign, saying his 193,000 votes exceeded his goal of about 190,000.

If only he'd been able to dig up a few more dead Indians.

[reaganaut]

I'll ask her.
