Too much is never enough.

[basil]

I don’t think our forefathers ever meant for people to go to Congress for the rest of their lives. I am a firm believer in Term Limits.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Let’s remember that Dingell was a member of the Board of Directors of the NRA.

He resigned that position to vote FOR Clinton’s AW ban.

NEVER forget that!

The Michigan Democrat is about to become the longest-serving member of Congress in U.S. history.

The Michigan Democrat is about to become the longest-self-serving member of Congress in U.S. history.

There. Fixed it.

[Gaffer]

Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), announced the plans to celebrate Dingell and noted more details would be made available closer to the event's date.

This is EXACTLY what is wrong with our GOPe! Instead of lauding an enemy, a real life honest to God enemy of morality, freedom and liberty for having had the evil duplicity to remain in his position of unworthy power, they should be eschewing anything to do with him. Where were all the Democrats for Strom Thurmond. They, the GOPe, don't realize we are at war, real war although no arms have been broken out(yet). To play honorifics with them is exactly the same thing Peace in Our Time Chamberlain did - we all know how that turned out - at least those of us that are from the way-way-before times of public indoctrination we used to call school.

If there was ever a better person to play the lead in a remake of Weekend at Bernies I don’t know who it would be.

He’s long overdue for his dirt nap.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

His wife is a big time Dem. Lobbyist and she really calls his shots. Look for her to run for his seat when he decides to go to the big Donkey tent in the Sky.

[Texas Eagle]

Boner and McConnell are idiots.

John Dingell would sooner gouge their eyes out than care what they think of him.

[Vaduz]

Throughout his career he has been a leading congressional supporter of organized labor, social welfare measures and traditional progressive policies.
Detroit Dingell fails.

[Moonman62]

What about Dingell-Norwood?

[Texas Eagle]

On June 7, Dingell surpass the service record of the late Sen. Robert C. Byrd (D-W.Va.)

Are they going to lower the white hood on Byrd's headstone to half-staff in honor of this occasion?

[Joe 6-pack]

This nation has, since its founding, had 44 Presidents. Dingellberry has been in Washington during 11 of their terms, or for a full 25% of this nation's presidential administrations.

That is too damn long.

[rbg81]

While Dingell is not the worst Democrat there is, you would be hard pressed to compare his Detroit district in 1955 to today as justification for his longevity.

[llevrok]

If John Dingell married former Wash DC mayor Marion Barry, he’d be John Dingell - ........

[jimfree]

Is that something like becoming the oldest in a brothel?

[MinuteGal]

The last two paragraphs of the article are a hoot....they only display the lazy political ignorance of the writer who actually is so ignorant he think's WE'RE ignorant.

Example: "He (Dingell) takes a fairly moderate position on abortion."

Is that like being a fairly moderate bit pregnant?

Dingell is a "moderate" Democrat like John McCain is a "conservative" Republican, Mr. Writer.

Journalism today is a travesty....and has willingly acquired a very bad name. For instance, one doesn't even know which evil to root for in today's hot news, the mediawhore collective vs. the IRS.

It's like trying to align oneself with one evil over another in the war between Assad and the Syrian muslim brotherhood rebels.

The MSM, either through marxist ideological propaganda or sheer stupidity and ineptitude, is no longer the Fourth Estate but the Fifth Column within our Republic.

[JimRed]

Two terms in the house, two in the senate, two as governor, two at each level of state government are enough for anyone. It gets them out before they can establish the network they need to rob us.

TERM LIMITS, NOW AND FOREVER!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Something tells me thats not a good thing.

[GBA]

There is no way an 86 yo man in office is serving anyone other than by being the figurehead who conveys power to those who control him.

I have no doubts that his nap times are very productive. In fact, I bet he doesn't need to actually do anything at all to get quite a lot done and he has no idea what he did and signed.

Dingle is a well oiled tool that's being used effectively to take the Republic apart. And you and I pay his salary and benefits.

[mosesdapoet]

Dingle and Bloomberg are the embodyment for the argument embracing term limits.
