(The Dingell 'rat Family Plantation moved west enough to make me one of the Tax Slaves on the fam' plantation a number of years ago. The Plantation has been owned by the Dingell fam since ~ 1933. Massa Dingell never set us free.)
Good riddance to one of the most crooked, racists pigs to ever visit the dc empire.
She is a spry 60. A youngster in comparison. A child really.
I’m 60 years old. This man first went to Congress when I was just out of diapers.
The Framers would consider a term that long to be an obscene affront to the foundational concepts of our form of government.
Dingell-Norwood...
So what’s the official count now of Dem congresscritters who’ve decided to jump ship this November and flee the impending economic collapse and Obamacare tsunami they helped create?
I always figured that his wife would run to replace him. She’s a big time Democrat Washington Lobbyist and is about 20 Yrs + his junior in age.
He’s a lifer for sure.
His wife was a Wash DC based exec for GM, not sure if she is retired or not.
Don’t be too sure. Is there a law against ex felons running? In his district, Darth Vader could get elected as long as he is black.
What, no stake through the heart?
Conservatives, and the rest of the, possible, GOP political ideologies, haven’t found a successful way to, actually, win the most votes from within cities (with a few exceptions), especially from within the highest levels of political office and especially for many, consecutive election cycles in a row. From within all U.S. cities, whenever the GOP does win, they are usually RINO Republicans. This is an ongoing problem for all of conservatism where, even, the worldwide left has had a political foothold over the worldwide right in all cities, worldwide, from day one of political existence.
Ok...... been wanting to post this for years
What happens when John Dingle’s Daughter marries Marion Berry’s son?
Little dingleberries
Agree......the Democrat Rats keep jumping ship!!! They know what’s coming in November, 2014!!!
- Harry Reid (Creep-Nevada) is another bastard that played both sides with the National Rifle Association
- Like Joe “Boom-Boom” Biden he fathered more crooked Limo-Progressive sons to loot your assets and steal your land -
About damn dingle berry time.
another rat leaving a sinking ship, but it’s Michigan, what else are they going to put up but another dems
Inherited power for America’s royals......
” He (Dingdell) rose to the rank of Second Lieutenant and received orders to take part in the first wave of a planned invasion of Japan in November 1945; the Congressman has said President Truman’s decision to use the atomic bomb to end the war saved his life.”
Here’s another reason to despise that little twerp Harry-A$$ed Truman. As my father used to say “ How are Harry Truman and and automatic transmission similar? Answer: They are both shiftless.”
Reminds me of a CDC statistic that would list a 95 year old man’s cause of death as “smoking”.
He and most ‘lifers’ suffers from social agoraphobia when it comes to ‘leaving the House’.
