“At a news conference at the state capitol, Mr. Ritter said he wanted to find a better balance in life and spend more time with his family.”
“In his statement, Dorgan said his retirement was borne out of the desire to spend more time with his family.”
“‘Now there is nothing more pathetic than a politician who announces they are only leaving public life to spend more time with their family…,’ Dodd said.”
Maybe now he can retire to that cottage in Ireland.

Now if they will just pass health reform for the little people. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
