Dingell Attacks Opponent’s Auto Enthusiasm In Motor City Stunner

John Dingell Jr. has represented Michigan’s 15th congressional district for 55 years. His father held the same seat for 22 years before that. Dingell has lived his entire life in Washington, D.C., never in the southwest suburbs of Detroit where his constituents live. For perhaps the first time in his life, Dingell is actually in a political battle. The Detroit Free Press published the results of a poll that showed him 4% down to his challenger, Dr. Rob Steele, a cardiologist from Ann Arbor, with just three weeks to go before the election.

55 years.  Holy shit.  When are we going to get some real 'election reform' and start mandating term limits for these leeches?

I remember hearing about that slug when I was a kid and it boggles my mind that the scumbag is still in office.

Was Dingell considered a 'safe' seat?  Obama had to go campaign in Detroit for him last week.

55 years!  Holy crap that's a long time.

55 years!  Holy crap that's a long time.

77 years between Dingell and his old man.  The Kennedy's wish they had that kind of pull.
