Hatch is out

Just a few posts ago, I noted Dana Milbank's Washington Post column in which he indicated it would be a good thing if Mitt Romney ran for the Senate in Utah, provided Orrin Hatch decided not to see another term.

Hatch decided not to seek another term.

For which all of us on the progressive liberal Democratic side of the political spectrum -- the sane, rational, public-serving side of the political spectrum -- give thanks.

And Senator Hatch, I would like to thank you for your 40 years of public service in the Senate, despite the wide gulf between our political positions.

Having said that, the sooner you're the f*ck out of the Senate, the better off the country will be.  As some pundits have noted, you actually were a decent public servant, until Donald Trump got elected.  Then you've been ridiculous and pathetic stooge.

Good-bye, bon voyage, and the best view of you is your skinny backside headed back to Utah,
