I see where Sen Jim Webb D-VA is retiring. I’ve always liked Jim Webb ever since I picked up his first book Fields of Fire as a Marine second lieutenant in Quantico. But retiring after one six year term as a senator? WTF? And, no, I don’t mean win the future. Retiring after six years, how does one get such a gig?
These are pampered weasels sucking the treasury dry to purchase their perks, pay-offs and earmarks while they purposefully drive the country into the ground. It’s not as if these Pols are at the gates of hell battling demons under insufferable conditions for those six years. Come to think of it, it was probably much worse. Being in the same caucus room as Chuckles 3 branches Schumer probably does rate some sort of extra generous compensation. But the thought of retirement for congress people after just FIVE years of uh er “service” seems a bit like keeping your teenaged son on retainer for cutting the grass that he butchered when he bothered to cut it all after he’s left home and gotten married.
This year the US taxpayer will shell out over 200 MILLION dollars in retirement pay to former members of congress who did their FIVE YEARS in hell.
If Repubs are serious about slashing the budget, I suggest they start by slashing their own BS retirement plan.
In other shocking skuzzy Pol news, NY Rep Christopher Lee resigned Wednesday after a report claimed he sent a shirtless photo of himself to a woman on Craigslist. This dope needs to go not because he flashes a topless pic of himself to some gal. He needs to go because he’s obviously dumber than a box of rocks if thinks that such a picture will not surface soon or later. Two words Chris, Brett Favre. But then at least you spared us the shot of your genitals, for now anyway.
