Permit me a boastful “Always trust Campaign Spot!” brag or two, with the news that North Carolina Democratic congressman Heath Shuler will retire from Congress.
Around 10:00 this morning, I predicted this, based upon his minuscule fundraising last quarter.
I suppose this is my last chance to spotlight this fake ad from frustrated Redskins fans who didn’t want Heath Shuler anywhere near Washington again:
Another one for the "won't be missed" file. Officially, "to spend more time with the kids" (ages 10 and 7), like he didn't realize they'd be growing up back when they were born, before he ever ran for office. And that going back into real estate in today's market is not something that's going to get you home for dinner on a regular basis every night -- not if you're accustomed to making enough money to pay for dinner.
Wonder if he regrets not going for the Tennessee Atheletic Director's position when it came up, although if the Vols don't perform this year, that job might be up again in the not too distant future
Will the last sane Democrat retiring from Congress please turn out the lights in Nancy Pelosi's office before leaving?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI'm glad he is leaving. I thought he was terrible in "Brokeback Mountain" though he was a passable Joker.
