Apparently the Democrat machine is concerned with Frank Lautenberg's increasing age. Here he's pictured about to consume one of the many children whose blood he's forced to drink daily to continue to preserve his life.
No ... not really... but the Democrat machine really is really concerned. So what they now plan to do, in the musical chairs style so typical of Trenton, is to have Corzine retire before leaving office in January. That will make Richard Codey governor again. Then if Lautenberg will retire as well (again), Codey can then appoint Corzine to Lautenberg's empty seat. This musical chairs act (which happens every 4 or 5 years or so) is known locally as 'pulling a torch' so named after former Senator Robert "The Torch" Toricelli's timely resignation when corruption allegations started to make his poll numbers look bad in a recent election.
All this is important to the Democrat machine because if Lautenberg were to have his coffin discovered by the gathering mob, or accidentally go outside during the daytime or eat soemthing with garlic in it or whatever, incoming governor Chris Chritie could then appoint his own Republican candidate to replace him in the Senate. Can you imagine ?! A Republican ... in the Senate...from NJ ... gasp... oh the horror...
I'm not really surprised, but I am as embarrassed as always. NJ and corruption...perfect together.

The fact that you're still in NJ boggles my mind sometimes.
ur an idiot
Ah ... more deeply persuasive and insightful rhetoric from the bastions of the intellectual left.
You know Laughingdog, ... the nice thing about this kind of move is that it shows the NJ Democrats for exactly what they are... a shameless bunch of power hungry bastards who would happily burn this country to the ground if they were certain that they would get to be in charge of the ashes.
For them 'the will of the people' is no more than an inconvenience.
The problem though is that with the politicians in Maryland, and Virginia and Pennsylvania (and the rest), it's the same people.. but they're so much better at it that you can't tell. Your pols are just as despicable, but they're more subtle.
