No-Good Rotten Blue-Dog Dastard To Retire

Well, Stupak’s doppelganger in the Senate, the other no-good rotten dastard in the whole sordid affair Ben Nelson has announced that he will retire rather than face his very deserved electoral comeuppance.
Senator Ben Nelson is the same guy who swore up and down that he would stand firm against abortion funding in the healthcare bill only to suffer the world’s most watched moral collapse (until Stupak’s) when he received the infamous “Cornhusker Kickback.”
