WASHINGTON – Rep. Henry A. Waxman, whose legislative record has made him one of the country’s most influential liberal lawmakers for four decades, announced Thursday that he will retire from his Westside seat, the latest in a wave of departures that is remaking the state’s long-stable congressional delegation.

Well, maybe Henry finally amassed enough wealth to get that badly-needed cosmetic surgery.

LOL! I doubt that there are enough cosmetic surgeons available for a task so big.

Although, they might be able to extract enough nasal hair to make a rope with which to hang him.

It would achieve their goal of overthrowing the Republic, but would isolate them from any personal blame should the coup fail in the last stages.

The Omega and Alpha, Ωbamα, would be hanged, and they'd skate.

Or so they think...

Ah, we’ll have to do without the demonstrations of idiocy by nostralitis.

Like Boxer, it isn’t a sin to be ugly on the outside, but it is a sin to be even uglier on the inside.

Of course.....Waxmen wants no part of what’s coming in the 2014 mid-term elections. All Democrats know the ticket....with Obama remaining POTUS...the Democrats will take massive historic losses come November, 2014. There is only one way the Democrat Party can stem the losses, somewhat....and they will not do it!!! that is....to march up to POTUS Obama in the White House, and demand that he resign imeediately or they will start impeachment proceddings against him!!!

Obama is the “only” POTUS in history to have not gained one single percentage point of approval after his SOTU address!!! In fact.....in both the ‘Real Clear Politics” & Rasmussen Reports, daily approval polls he has lost significant ground. It’s over for Obama....he is now, the Lamest of Lame Ducks!!! Dems your time is running out quickly for you to save yourselves politically!!! The rats, like Waxman & Moron are quickly deserting the sinking Obama ship!!!

"Question: Why did the democrat congress critters stand up and cheer when Ωbamα told them he was usurping all their power?" B/c unlike Republicans, Dems support ea other regardless. They present a united front. If Obama had stood up there and announced he was creating a Dept. of Hip Hop to promote urban music, the Dems wd have bounced up on their feet and applauded madly. It's just what they do.

That would explain polite applause, but not the wild enthusiasm.

They still have the power to impose their will on the minority, Conservatives, in California and they do it every opportunity!

He should be sent to a taxidermist and included in the Natural History Museum.

Granted, this seat is still probably a lock for Dems even with Waxman gone. Even so, opens seats mean primaries, the nominee having to acquire a war chest and fund a campaign team, meaning the Dems got to funnel resources to that seat. The better the GOP candidate, even more so.

With this happening across the country it spreads the Dems thinner, and that ultimately is a good thing.

The image that comes to mind is the part in Star Wars ep.4 about Palpatine disolving the Imperial Senate, the last vestage of the Old Republic.
