He’s probably resigning BEFORE he gets thrown out in 2010...he needs to do something to save face!
Now Hawaii has to deal with him...
Hawaii's had to deal with the idiotic hippie for the last 30 years. Abercrombie did helped shape my political outlook though... I remember the day that we ran into him wandering around town. A kid at the time, I thought that he was quite literally a dirty bum and my parents corrected me, sighing, "Somehow he's our Congressman." I was appalled.
I had hoped that his departure from the house would have been through an electoral defeat. Oh well.
