Beautiful piece of self-congratulations!

From the rest of us, “Thank God and Greyhound You’re Gone” ...

Nostralidus: I think after 40 years my constituents deserve representation.

He’s leaving because he finally sucked all the air out of the room.

I knew what Waxman was going to say before I even read it.

[jmaroneps37]

Good reddens to a liberal piece of crap. He’s leaving because he thinks he has done enough damage to America and he’s proud of it.

[House Atreides]

The REAL reason Waxman is retiring is simply because he has maxed out on how much he can get from his Congressional retirement plan (80% of 174,000 = $139,200).

Since he’s limited to no more than 80% of his salary and Congress (for political reasons) is not raising their current $174,000 annual salary he likely figures he’s better off not staying in Congress and simply collecting his $139,200 annual pension (which WILL get annual COLAs) anyhow. He can then also get additional income peddling his influence and/or being a paid lobbyist.

I think Waxman is a mental case. Good riddance. Too bad he didn’t take his buddies with him.

The crap is going to hit the fan and I’m outta’ here.

When my colleague Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) offered a simple amendment affirming that climate change is real, they voted against that, too. That kind of mindless denial of science is an embarrassment.

Science is simply a method that we use to determine how things work. But in the last few years the left has begun to treat "Science" as some kind of entity, like Robespierre's "Supreme Being"--a god in all but name.

Good riddance to a global cooling denying kook.

[Bogey78O]

Every breathe he takes is carbon pollution. Worse yet, it’s carbon pollution with no benefit. At least a factory that dumps CO2 in China is making something more useful than he, even if it is making rubber vomit.

[Bernard Marx]

speculation began that I am leaving because I am frustrated with a broken institution. But the exact opposite is true

When I read of his retirement my first thought was the cliche line at the end of heroic epics when the leading man says: "My work here is done."

With Obama elevated to semi-dictatorial status and backed by a Senate and mainstream media composed of Useful Idiots, it's no wonder Waxman can finally retire. He feels his work of undermining American Constitutional principles and replacing them with his long-sought Marxist totalitarian Utopia is securely underway. Younger traitors can now tie up loose ends in his footsteps.

[OrangeHoof]

I don’t care why he is leaving so long as he does.

[ought-six]

Waxman is truly a reprehensible little man.

[Safetgiver]

If you look at each and every one of his “accomplishments”, no matter who supported or didn’t, what good, at this point, did it make? NOT A DAMN THING but it made him richer. GET out of my life, Congress, Obama, regulators!

I am leaving because I am frustrated with a broken institution.
Someone won’t take a bribe?.
