Congressman Henry Waxman of California is retiring. All I can say is let the joyous news be spread, the wicked Old Witch at last is dead!
Okay, to be fair, Waxman has no magic powers. He is just a totally partisan, nasty Democrat who has spent 40 years warming a seat in Congress. Because of his seniority, he has gotten to be chair or ranking minority member of some important committees. As a result, many people across America have been hurt by his endless political posturing.
Waxman announce his retirement today. He is not running for re-election. This will not change the party balance in Congress; Waxman's district is extremely liberal and very strongly supports the Democrats. But Waxman will be gone! That's quite an improvement for the nation. Further, Waxman's retirement means that he has come to recognize that the Democrats have no hope of taking back the House in the elections in November. Otherwise, Waxman would have hung around to have the chance to inflict more pain on the country during the next Congressional term in office.
