I saw that on the news. I will miss Dick Army. He's a kick butt kinda guy.

Interesting. Dick Cheney was just in Dallas for a fund raiser for Armey.

He lacks Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle's talent for being pleasantly implacable.

Which means that Armey is not smarmy - which is all to his credit.

I can understand he's tired of the long hours but I sure will miss him in the House.

Dick Armey is a treasure.

Dick Armey is one of my favorite politicians. I'll always remember what he said about EX-IMPOTUS:

"I don't think the President knows enough about the truth to recognize lie is when he says it."

"It's no stretch to say that without Mr. Armey's ideas Republicans in the later Clinton years would have had no ideas at all."

That's quite a statement for Paul Gigot to make, don't you think?

Armey a Conservative? Nope! Dickey's a Liberal

I just saw this on the news and I'm very upset and shocked. First Gramm and now Armey. I don't know what to think. Sigh....

I loved Clinton's SOTU addresses. Not because I liked Clinton but because I enjoyed watching Armey's stone face looks, never clapping or standing up. It was always entertaining to watch the Republicans during Clinton's speeches.

I'll miss Dick Armey. He and Orrin Hatch are my favorites in Washington. They don't dance around and they call it like they see it.

We're losing all the good guys. Who's next? Tom DeLay? At this rate, the Rockefeller-wing of the GOP will finally achieve dominance of the party. D@mn! I guess it only makes sense that the more competent members of congress retire and move onto more productive things ... leaving the career, worthless polito-whores in Washington to do their mischief.
