If you don't know, Chris Shays is that most endangered of critters: the very last repuke congressperson in New England. Today he told the House repuke leaderhip. Here's the story from the Hartford Courant:

Shays Says He'll Not Run Again If Denied Chairmanship
By DAVID LIGHTMAN | Washington Bureau Chief

WASHINGTON - Rep. Christopher Shays said today he will not seek another congressional term unless House Republican leaders support his bid for the job of top GOP member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

He is meeting with leaders and other key members now.

If they do not give him significant backing "I'm absolutely not going to run," said Shays, who said he is giving no one any deadlines.


Even if he runs and wins, and somehow gets denied the top Republican spot anyway in 2009, "I will resign," Shays said.

1. He's taking a page out of Lieberman's play book..

typical repuke thugery. These assholes never learn, they'll end up eating each other alive.

2. And if he doesn't get his way, will he assault another Capitol police officer?

Shays is the worst of the Repugs, because unlike the others, he tries to portray himself as "reasonable"......mainly to hold his job.

Maybe he should hold a town meeting to ask what he should do, like during the Clinton impeachment. What a pansy.

3. He wasn't McKinney so he got by with it.

5. Did you see how he treated Mama D from NOLA when she testified before his committee? He was so rude

and mean to her. He totally dismissed everything she testified to about the levee explosion she HEARD from her house. He's such a jerk.

4. Buh Bye loser. Didn't he come close to losing to Farrell in '06?

I hope he resigns.:)

6. he's the biggest frigging flip flopper of them all, when he was running for reelection

he was pessimistic about Iraq and now he's changed his tune yet again. The GOP holds grudges for a long time and i think they will never forgive him for shit talking the war.

7. Anyone up for some fun with this clown? I have the *perfect* domain name

to do it with, too. Well, two of them really. Which should I use... www.hqrnc.org or www.myfoxnewsonline.com ??? :evilgrin:

Don't you think he could use an email... or petition... from hqrnc.org demanding his "immediate resignation due to his blatant, although totally lame, attempt at blackmailing the Republican party" ???

How many people here would sign and send the petition if I did this?
