Robert Wexler, a seven-term congressman representing Florida's 19th district, announced today that he will resign his seat in the House of Representatives to head a think tank focused on finding Middle East peace.

Wexler said today he will step down in January to become the executive director of the Center for Middle East Peace and Economic Cooperation, a Washington-based non-profit that describes itself as advocating for "the peace that Israelis and Arabs seek."

FTA:

When Wexler steps down in January, Gov. Charlie Crist will schedule a special election to fill the seat. Wexler's Palm Beach and Broward County district should be a safe one for Democrats to hold, as they outnumber registered Republicans by a margin of more than 2 to 1.

Will that DemonRat margin hold up with the present bunch of criminals trying to gut Medicare and all the retirees in Wexler's district?

He might as well resign to look for El Dorado...it's just as likely he'll find it, but hey, they money's probably better and it's one less obnoxious Dem!

January. Long enough to vote for the final health care and cap and trade bills, then skip out and let other people deal with the consequences.

Wait a minute... I thought the Nobel committee basically just told us that the world is all rainbows and gumdrops now that Obama is President. Why would anyone need to work for Middle-East “peace” anymore?

"Robert Wexler" and "think tank".

Two phrases I never thought I'd see in the same sentence.

Yeah, it has nothing whatsoever to do with his being investigated by the FBI.

One of the worst. Our gain is the Middle East’s loss.

Do I detect a hint of bitterness in your post?

Hahaha! You are absolutely, dead on right about the thoroughly miserable individuals who voted that bastard Wexler in.

Just another reason to have a celebration cigar!

Over at RedState.com the speculation is that he's got the Feds on his trail re corruption.
