Rep. Jane Harman of California to resign

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The seat is fairly solid Democratic, so we won't be likely to see it change hands.

U.S. Rep. Jane Harman (D-Venice), a leading congressional voice on anti-terrorism issues, plans to resign from Congress to head up the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, a senior congressional source confirmed Monday, setting up a special election to choose her successor in a coastal district that stretches from Venice into the South Bay.

She is expected to leave her seat soon to succeed former Rep. Lee Hamilton as head of the Washington-based think tank, though no date was immediately announced. Her departure comes after her Democratic party lost control of the House, and it creates a rare open congressional seat in the Los Angeles area.

Hmmmm, a quitter, huh?

 

[Claudette]

I'm sure she won't be considered a quitter.

Her name isn't Palin.

 

[Article 15]

Less than three weeks after getting sworn in.

That's a pretty shitty thing to do.

Different rules, she does have a big D after her name. It really does make a difference. Ask anyone like TM or rdean. They'll explain it.

It is...and for the record...if she were to even think about trying to run for office again, I hope her opponent from eithe party points that out...yes, she's a quitter.

Funny how you are very wrong about this. She is a quitter. Let her just try to run for any office now, Ollie.

She has to resign.
Frivolous lawsuits.

For the dumbass masses:
The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars is NON PARTISAN.

I dun care if she is quitting to go run The Hague, Gadawg. She knew about this offer before the election -- THAT was the time to step down, not now. The district has to pay for a special election because this bitch has trouble focusing?

She's no better than the woman who takes a teaching job knowing she is pregnant, and quits three weeks after her contract is signed to use the insurance.

Venice Beach, in California, is a part of the District!

Venice Beach, in California, knows that she was actually a spy(?), at any rate. . . or however they say that(?)!

She even used to live in the Marina: An LA County subsidized "Project" for the affluent, with yachts!

People in LA County, know about the Projects!

GOP Tea Berserkers know that, "The Projects" are for showing patriotic solidarity, like is said in Polish(?)!

Even Great Pharoh, or whoever, knows how to run Egypt! The upper middle class are all camped in the square, and everyone else either works or dies. Jane Harman could have foretold all of this: Except that it all looked so normal, somehow: Just like they teach in the schools!

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Actually, there are Projects. . . .And then there are Projects!)

That's just wrong. She had to know about this before the election. Now the people have to pay

"had to know" does not cut it.
How about some PROOF.
To date there is no proof she was offered the job before last November 4.
Do you have any proof?

What proof do you have?

Not much fun being in the minority.

Good Riddance, Now just take NancyP, BarbaraB, DianeF with you. California would a much nicer place.

Harman is a Blue Dog. Hopefully she'll be replaced by a Liberal Democrat.

Harman a "blue dog democrat? She has a %100 NARAL pro abortion rating. She has an "F" from the NRA. She has a %100 from the gay rights people. She voted for the stimulous and against the Border Fence. How is she a blue dog?

 

[The Hatter]

This is a poor thing to do to the people who voted for you. I do hope any further opponents for any sort of political office point this out in an election against her.
