Aides to five-term U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg are rejecting a report by NBC tonight that the 88-year-old senator will not seek re-election in 2014.
"NBC 4's report that Senator Lautenberg has decided to retire has not been confirmed by our office or anyone in our organization. The Senator has not made a decision on his re-election." said Lautenberg spokesman Caley Gray, adding the report "is simply not true."
The report came from veteran local NBC reporter Brian Thompson who cited un-named sources.

They’re going to have to screw that crooked pos into the ground.
You have to tear them from the public trough with their teeth marks still on it..
More likey he will die before he resigns.
He is 89 I beleive.
I agree with your sentiments. I might break my rule above for Lautenberg. He should retire. He's old enough to be one of Ben Franklin's illegitimate children.
Somebody needs to put Lautenberg back in his pyramid- he’s starting to smell.....
You may be thinking of Mel Carnahan of Missouri who died in a plane crash weeks before the election. The Democrat governor said that if the dead Carnahan won the election, he'd appoint his widowed wife in his place.
In a lawful country, the deceased Carnahan would have been an ineligible candidate, and the remaining living candidates would have been the only valid candidates to vote for. There is no such thing as a "vote for the governor to choose" option in Senate elections.
However, it would take a Republican party with a spine to prevent such electoral fraud from happening. Sadly, we do not have a strong Republican party to stand up for such principles.
Since we're talking about the Torricelli election and dead candidates, it's worth reminding people that at the same time that Democrats were arguing that the Torch must be replaced in the name of "giving the voters a choice," Democrat Representative Patsy Mink in Hawaii also died weeks before the election, and Democrats there argued that Mink must remain on the ballot because of name recognition, and that if her name won, then the governor should call a special election to replace her dead body.
Again, our spineless Republicans allowed that travesty to stand, too.
For those who weren't keeping score, the dead Carnahan won and his widow Jean Carnahan was appointed. Also, the dead Mink won and a Democrat won the special election that followed.
The icing on the cake was that the illegitimate Senator Carnahan voted against her husband's opponent John Ashcroft for confirmation to Attorney General after he refused to challenge the legitimacy of her appointment.

He has been awfully silent with all these calls for gun control lately, he should be reveling in this. “Weekend at Bernie’s” comes to mind.
Corpses are very slow to make decisions.
