Jeffords was always an intellectual zero, with zero influence. Now it appears that he is losing his mental capacities, which is sad. That is what is causing him to quit, not the blather in this article.
Sorry to hear of Jeffords poor health. I simply assumed that he knew he wasn't going places without either party.
It's kinda funny, but whenever I'm looking for a chuckle or a smile I can simply type in JEFFORDS at the FR search engine,...and somebody is having a party someplace cutting up on the Jumster. Pretty harmless and I can't think of anyone else that desrves the abuse more.
Fortunately - or possibly unfortunately - I can still use that very same search engine to locate BYRD or SHAYS - libs have given much to the cause of mirth and witty banter on their account.
Adios Jumpin' Jim give Ben and Jerry my regards!
