The Democratic senator from Pennsylvania speaks like a man who isn't worried about beating Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) in his new-ish party's primary. Colby Itkowitz reports:
''Well, I probably shouldn't say this,'' he said over lunch last month. ''But I have thought from time to time that I might have helped the country more if I'd stayed a Republican.''

ROFL. He can always switch back. I’m sure Cornyn will endorse him again.

Arlen, if you really want to “help the country,” you’ll just GO HOME and stay there.

So if he really felt that way perhaps he’d vote with them? He voted against them plenty when he was supposedly one of them. Where’s his “bipartisan” spirit now that he’s a Democrat?

The only time Arlen was Republican was when you were talking about the city in King of the Hill.

Arlan would have done the world more good if he’s stayed in Russell Kansas and become a rabbi.

Hey Arlan, you can always move to Arizona and sell beer with your buddy Jaun MeCain come January.
To: Nachum
He might have helped the country if he’d ever been a republican to start with!
