Really?

You stayed too long!

"I don't want people to say I stayed too long."

seriously? he stayed for 58 years!

[cripplecreek]

And never once held a private sector job.

[Thank You Rush]

“”I find serving in the House to be obnoxious””

We find Congress to be obnoxious so we have something in common.

Debbie Dingall? What a great campaign slogan could be made from that.

(after 58 years)

[Thank You Rush]

[who knows what evil?]

"I don't want people to say I stayed too long."

Too late.

>> He also played a role in helping convince more conservative Democrats to support the Affordable Care Act in 2009 and 2010.>>

Sure, what the heck, HE didn’t have to sign up for it.

"I don't want people to say I stayed too long."

Proving yet again that Democrats have no sense of irony.

At 88-years of age he proves that it isn’t very physically nor mentally taxing to serve in Congress. What a cushy job it must be.

[Deo volente]

And I'm still as smart and capable as anyone on the Hill.

That's not saying much.

[fatnotlazy]

Or he doesn’t have any hobbies or other interests.

Fifty years to many two terms is more than enough for a hack to get rich.

Flashback to W Bush destroying AGore during a debate with a single nod of the head (Gore asking about Dingell Norwood)

Although Dingell is and has been a liberal Democrat throughout his political career there’s one favorable thing I can say about him, he has always been a strong supporter of 2nd Amendment rights. I haven’t kept up with his recent voting record on that issue, but I doubt that he’s changed his mind about our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms after all those years of supporting that right.

Dingell or Dingbat.

Just like a majority of liberal tenured professors.
