I don't know if you've noticed but there is a quiet, orderly exit stage left by some well known cons. Just as we finished our popcorn over the Snowe retirement, we learned this from theHill.com:
House Rules Committee Chairman David Dreier (R-Calif.) on Wednesday morning announced from the House floor that he would not seek reelection this year.
"We all know that this institution has an abysmally low approval rating, and the American people are asking for change in Congress, and so I'm announcing today that I will leave the Congress at the end of this year," the 16-term member joked.
Dreier is the eighth House Republican to announce his retirement this year, and the fourth Republican from California. Seven other House Republicans have decided to run for higher office.
Eight-8-ate...however you choose to say it. That's right, eight cons are walking away from the crazy farm including four from Cali.
Are they sensing Nancy's getting her gavel back??
Hhhhhmmmm?
