Good riddance to this brain addled dope. His parting shot is to put government deeper into my pocket and deeper into the regulation of business and the economy? Goodbye to bad trash.

Sen. James Jeffords this week is expected to introduce the last major piece of legislation in his 40-year political career. The bill, if it becomes law, would slash America’s greenhouse gas emissions by more than half over the next 50 years, making it one of the most aggressive environmental measures in recent history.

If he were serious about cleaning up the environment he wouldn't waste the paper that useless bill is printed on.

So, does his apparent dementia explain his treasonous defection to the dark side? No sane person would have willingly given power to the likes of Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and Tom Daschle (to name a few)...

Properly and well stated. Yes, this mindless liberal maggot is true to form. Spraying socialism and big government everywhere.

Jeffords is independent alright, probably a shill for France.

Once this gasbag retires, there will be fewer hothouse gases emitted.

What is wrong with the people in Vermont? What do these people think? I don't understand how they could elect a person like Jeffords.

What do you expect from a state known for its sap.

If he or his staff had any integrity, Jeffords should step down immediately. I suspect his staff is more interested in keeping their jobs and proping up this "Weekend at Bernies" senator until his term expires. It is a travesty in much the same way that Strom Thurmond was used.

Jeffords “is definitely not a show horse,”

LOL! No, he's a horse's behind.

I've said we'd do well to give Vermont back to the British. Or to North Korea.

Nah. Give it to Canada. We'll take Alberta in exchange.

A sad demise for a Senator or anyone but: it does not over-rule his horrid voting record, his betrayal of the GOP, and his views that pacifism and socialism are somehow what America needed and that his own geographic area should adopt. Perhaps he and Sanders led those voters down the path to the Dark Side and should not be missed.

That medical condition they say has impinged on his ability to make speeches, write legislation and even appear on the Senate floor without significant support from his staff.

That explains everything.

If someone is clearly unable to do his job, why are the other senators not removing him? What is the process for that?

Well, if he gets too senile to be a senator, they can always make him a judge.
