As I understand it, you have to serve in Congress for at least five years to become vested, so Walsh, Mourdock, and West will not (unless they log more years in future) receive a Congressional pension.

Akin is eligible, and with 12 years of service will get something like 30% of his final salary (e.g., around $50K per year). Since he is over 62, he will start collecting immediately.

Yeah, I think that fella was snorting something when he said that.

I would hate to be Karl Rove if his billionaire donors thought he might be working secretly for the other side. But really - who benefited more from his efforts, the RNC or the DNC?

Seconded, on Murphy. I was in MI when I donated, and this outcome is <i>invigorating</i>. Let Xe put West into an "enhanced interrogation" role, if he passes the psych evaluation. (hee hee hee)

Mitt Romney's entire transition team was told <a href="http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/decision2012\/life-after-defeat-for-mitt-romney-public-praise-private-questions\/2012\/11\/07\/4db3bc38-2916-11e2-96b6-8e6a7524553f_story.html" target="_blank">to vacate the premises by Friday.</a> That's not a lot of time for looting.

Anyway, I figure all these guys can go to China to make Jeeps. Supposed to be plenty of openings there.

Conservidicks vow <a href="http:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/ballot-box\/presidential-races\/266649-conservatives-lambast-romney-vow-to-take-over-gop" target="_blank">to put teabaggers in charge of Republican Party</a>

If there is a God, I hope she loves me enough to let this happen.

Maybe all four can join the Mitt Five and sing America The Beautiful at VFWs and American Legion halls.

"The Donald" could have them all compete for some shit job cleaning urinals in one of his hotels. Until he needed to stoke his fires by firing them. Donald?
