The Associated Press today reports on rumors that Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM), one of two members of Congress in possible ethical trouble for allegedly contacting the U.S. Attorney in New Mexico to discuss grand jury proceedings, may retire. But the senator's staff pointed to the ample money he has raised as evidence he won't quit.
"Down the road, as the election comes — will questions about his health or the (U.S. attorney) story hurt his campaign?" asked University of New Mexico political science professor Lonna Atkeson in an interview with the AP.More on the story.
Retirement concerning his health? I smell a plan for Domenici to bail out from his job after getting caught in breaking the ethic rules in the USA firing. I wouldn't be surprised if ex-USA Attorney David Garcia plans a lawsuit against Domenici on harrassment if Garcia felt that Domenici's inappropriate phone calls to him (concerning an ongoing investigation) were unwelcomed.

Others will follow in hopes that they don't have to go to jail for the crimes committed. The White House looks like the stores in New York as the rats run around freely and look at viewers as if nothings wrong. I guess more are giving thought to joining the Dementia club. What a story this will be to my grandchildren. I live to see two Axis of Evil Presidents in my life time. Nixon now Bush. Daddy and MaMa Bush should put their heads down in shame as the two idiot stupid kids Jeb/George will go down in History as the poorest examples that this country has to offer.
Health now that's a new one, I guess spending time with family got old, needed a fresh reason.
