That’s what Connecticut politico Kevin Rennie is reporting:

United States Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) is expected to announce Wednesday that he will not seek a 5th term in 2012, Daily Ructions has learned.  Lieberman has invited supporters to an event at the Marriott hotel in Stamford Wednesday afternoon for his announcement.

This shouldn't be any surprise; he's pretty old.

I expect Jr. from Vermont, Bernie Sanders, to retire too, as he's ready for the nursing home.

Bernie the commie Sanders will never retire. IMHO

Well, Jr. from Vermont's pretty old, and he dribbles and spits.

I used to watch him on C-Span during the early 1990s, when he was a white-haired congressman, spittering and sputtering in angry indignation about one thing or the other.

It occurred to me even back then that people needing to speak with him close-up--say, within six feet or so--should carry a plexiglass shield for their own protection from the spit and sput.

Yeah, Bernie's old all right, Frank.  So is the dude from Hawaii, Inouye, who is 86.  Some of those guys will be only carried out in a box. 

I will say for Lieberman, he understood terrorism, actually acknowleged that it existed.  CT, bah.  Bunch of moonbats with New York accents.  Rich white guilt.

Well, if no one noticed her for 2 weeks, that would kill her.



OOOPS! There I go with hate speech again.
