1. Some, but the consensus is mainly "good riddance" - not a lot of conversation fodder

10. Yes. If we can't get rid of bad apples, then the GOP has to do it for us.

3. I'm surprised more hasn't been made of the guy he lost to...
...did anyone hear his interview on CNN today?

He basically said that it was a good thing that the voter turnout was so low, because that was the only way he could win.

And no, I'm not paraphrasing. He literally said that. The female anchor was surprised, and said, "wow, you're the only politician I've ever heard say that low voter turnout was a good thing." And he basically said, "well, that's the only way we could win."

I'm guessing he won't have much of a political career.

5. He's gone in two years and he knows it
So frankly he might as well be candid.

7. Amen.
I would, however, volunteer to go over and defrost his freezer for him. God knows what he might have forgotten in there.

11. What's there to talk about? A criminal dumbfuck lost his seat. Good riddance.
Back to important issues.
