Torch extinguished
Huzzah! Now I can go into the voting booth next month without holding my nose. Good riddance! I’ve never forgiven Torricelli for his appalling behavior during the battle of Florida when he called for Gore to concede before any other Democrat. I wasn’t looking forward to voting for him, although I would have just to keep the Senate Democratic. Now it appears I don’t have to worry about that. I’m quite happy with our other Senator here in New Jersey (Jon Corzine), and with our two previous Senators, Lautenberg and Bradley; I even think well of my Representative, Rush Holt (motto: My Congressman is a rocket scientist!). Torricelli stood out among them like a rank fart in a rose garden. And now he’s retired. I wish him a long and private retirement.
