Conn. Sen. Chris Dodd expected to announce retirement, sources say
WaPo (Just a teaser right now) ^ | January 5, 2009

Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (Conn.), a leading Democrat whose political star fell along with the nation's economy, is expected to announce Wednesday that he has decided against running for reelection this November, according to sources briefed on the decision. Dodd, in his fifth term, chairs the Senate Banking Committee. His retirement would be the second such announcement by a Senate Democrat in 24 hours; North Dakota's Byron Dorgan said Tuesday that he would not run this fall.

The amazing thing is that demoRATs almost NEVER retire from political office.....they just prefer to hang in there until they gasp their last treasonous lying POS breath of life and immediately pass into eternity, roasting in hell forever. For example when is Robert Byrd the old nearly comatose racist/turned commie pig EVER going to retire or kick the bucket. So in the meantime, it is a pleasure to watch some of the RATS like Dodd & Dorgan and hopefully others, anounce their retirement and GTH out of political life before screwing up our lives or our country any longer.

And so the OTHER half of the famous WAITRESS SANDWICH bites the big one — professionally speaking.

Unfortunately, an easy win for the GOP is now made difficult without Dodd as the Rat Candidate.

Wonder what ambassadorship B.O. has in store for him. Stewardesses beware.

You know it. Without his dead pal Fat Teddy around, Dodd will have to scarf down those 'sandwiches' all by his lonesome self. Poor Chris. Poor, poor, Chris.

Good riddance to the corrupt sonuvabitch.

Yup. They got their golden parachutes and kickbacks and now they’re heading out before the country figures out how badly they were f-—ed over.

My dream has come true....can’t stand that guy. Can’t stand his voice, his attitude, and his looks. He has helped to terribly damage this country in many ways, and his exit cannot be too soon. Added to all of this...he is a coward; he knows he will lose in the next election.

He will probably become a seven figure a year lobbyist or open his own private “consulting” business (influence peddling for the well connected). These cockroaches always seem to land on their feet.

More to come...

Seems to be contagious. Lots of Dems are catching the disease of retirement. Let the disease spread . . . .

Bad news for us, I think. I wish our senators think and act this way. If only those Republican Senators in Alaska and some other states were thinking this way, we wouldn’t have faced the Dhim supermajority today...

Good God, man, can’t you see? They don’t want to be on the ship U.S. Fascitst Government when it is burned to the waterline!

Obama is a usurper, he has over reached on the coup, and people with thinking minds are leaving the ‘Ship of Fools’ before it is fired.

Hmm, a lot of Dems are abandoning ship all the sudden.

Yes, the incumbent Democrats that know they will be slaughtered in November are allowing themselves to instead be martyred by supporting Obama, while also letting the DNC pick their replacement.

Watch for the DNC to financially-back local Democrat Congressional "moderate" (no such thing) candidates this spring for their parties. THAT is their plan to attempt to ride through the Conservative tsunami coming their way ...
