Senator DEPENDS, as Rush Limbaugh named him because of all the LEAKS that were discovered to emanate from his office.
He needs to keel over right now so the Republican governor can name his replacement and wrest control of the Senate from the Rats.
Never mind, the governor is a RINO...

No Sheet!!
We TERM LIMIT the POTUS....
We are FAR, FAR past doing the same to both Houses...
