WASHINGTON — Representative John D. Dingell Jr., Democrat of Michigan, the longest serving member of Congress in history, on Monday was expected to announce that he will not seek re-election in 2014, and will leave Congress in 2015.

Mr. Dingell, 87, has served in the House for more than 58 years, under 11 presidents.

I really hope an Ann Arbor moonbat doesn’t win here.

[Rennes Templar]

He’s got Detroit as a legacy...

I knew that SOB would retire on his own or die in office.
His district is too damn government dependent to ever vote him out.

58 years!? Good grief. Don't let the door hit’cha on the way out Ding-bat.

Deborah Dingell?

oh that’s great political name!

IMO, another rat fleeing the sinking Obamacare ship.

Could be. Gotta love this quote from him in 2010 about Obamacare where I have underlined and bolded:

The harsh fact of the matter is when you’re going to pass legislation that will cover 300 American people in different ways it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people.

A Freudian slip?

John Conyers should retire to prison.

Keep those bodies buried.

SIX ? THREE (3)... EVER... No Pensions... MINIMAL Salary... And NO GOV’T consulting jobs for 10 years after their LAST term...

If I’m not mistaken with regards to his political ideologies, 60 years was too long for this a$$clown.

Thanks for the post/ping. GRRRREAT news! CONFISCATE the gum-chewing socialist POS Dingell’s assets for the damage he has done to the republic.

ROT IN HELL, SCUMBAG

Johnny, we hardly knew ye!

Finally Dingleberry is leaving, his state and the US in a mess, much of his making.

Hope he dies the day after he leaves Congress, or sooner. American will then be a little safer, and Hamas/Hezbollah/PA will have lost a dear friend.

How long does it take to get rid of a “Dingell-berry”?

60 years apparently....

[Gabrial]

Dingel spent a whole career making bad policy that has crippled his state. He should be held responsible.

[Gritty]

It was time for this prick to leave 40 years ago.

[wastedyears]

This is just one of the many things wrong with government today. Who knows what the Founders would do with such a person. 58 years feeding off the public trough, doing nothing good for America? The sorry state we’re in...

It disgusts me he wants to pass the seat to his wife. His FATHER held it before he did. His father was first elected in 1932.

Debbie Dingell expected to run for husband’s congressional seat

At 60, a spring chicken!

She was Half His Age when she married the 55-year-old Dingell in 1981.

The rule is simple: Never, ever, vote for anyone with a D after their name, even if they are by far the most qualified (actually, especially if they are highly qualified). Always vote to minimize the likelihood of a D attaining public office, even at the expense of electing a disgusting RINO instead.
