Bayh "hates" us?

Republicans furious about timing of Bayh’s retirement announcement

...............

Bayh, a former two-term governor, was first elected to the Senate in 1998, taking 62 percent of the vote. He won re-election with 64 percent six years later.

In his two terms in the Senate, Bayh cut a centrist path and worked across party lines, which at times frustrated liberal Democrats.

"He hates the Senate, hates the left bloggers," a friend and longtime adviser to Bayh said. "They are getting their wish, pure Democrats in the minority."

3. So now consistently undermining your party is "cutting a centrist path"?

This empty suit's popularity in Indiana must be awfully embarrassing to Hoosiers on DU.

Don't feel too bad: I'm in Illinois!

4. Feelings Are Mutual After Yesterday

I never liked him much, but his dickish BS statement and leaving his party no time to find a candidate, is parting swipe at us on "the left, left"

I always thought he was a spineless DINO, but never thought he'd be so bitter and vindictive.
