Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), the longest-serving Democrat in the Senate, on Monday announced he will retire at the end of his term next year. Leahy, 81, who was first elected in 1974, would have been up for reelection to a ninth term in 2022. “It’s time to put down the gavel. It is time to pass the torch to the next Vermonter to carry on this work for our great state. It’s time to come home,” Leahy said at a news conference Monday at the Vermont State House in Montpelier from the same room where he announced his first
Leaky Leahy, the friend of communists everywhere. Enjoy your time in Hell.

Actually, it was time for this bellicose fossil to retire 20 years ago!! Selfish bustard wanted to leave the Senate feet first like so many of his comrades!! He is the poster child for both age and term limits in both houses!!!

The cumulative IQ of Vermont will go down, while that of DC will increase. Buh-bye, Commie.

Maybe Leahy will run for President. As a Dem, he's the right age to be President. LOL

He was a rotten Senator the first time, and even worse the second time.
Good riddance.

Three toots from the cows in Vermont, but there will be less harmful CO2 in D.C. Time to seek out Ben and Jerry's like Biteme.

Leahy's fellow sexual predator and traitor of the first rank, Ted Kennedy is happily polishing the seat right next to him in hell which is reserved exclusively for this abject failure of a human being Leahy.
Begone foul Traitor, your final judgement awaits you shortly.
Memo to Grim Reaper:
Your attention is directed to all of the ancient, corrupt, America hating communist death democrats fouling up both houses of congress who require an urgent visit from you. Please do your job.
Come to think of it , Grim Reaper, there are a lot of younger commie democrats who also deserve some of your attention.
Thanks.

He is a besotted leftist fogey. Good riddance! He will not be missed. Oh, his only claim to accomplishment and fame? That's right, he used a high school yearbook to slime Judge Kavanaugh. He will not be remembered for anything else.

He lost access to classified information in 1986, because he carelessly released some of it.
There should be a national celebration when we are rid of this nasty man.

I didn't know he was still alive.
Sadly, he's from Ben & Jerry land, Vermont, so it's not likely anyone with a grain of common sense will be elected.
Still, I hope it's the first of many, many Democratic retirements.

Vermont, here's your chance to prove you are not complete, perpetual idiots by electing someone to replace Leahy who will do well for you and the country. You irresponsibly saddled the rest of us with this dried up old wretch for nearly 50 years! You can and must do better!

Didn't want to be in the minority party in the Senate, huh?
Expecting a lot more retirements to come from long-time democrats, many in their 70's and 80's.

Great news, Patrick. Now you'll have lots of time on your hand to reconsider Dick Cheney's suggestion, and Google Facebook Youtube.

My guess is if Build Back Better is defeated, which I hope to God it is, then Bolshevik Bernie will realize his agenda will never be adopted in his lifetime and will head for the exits too. I suppose if DiFi is still alive (not really sure if she is still with us) she is gone to. That would be three Commies down only another 55 in the senate to go!

This makes Bernie the senior (no pun intended) senator from Vermont. They will have to carry him out.
