Democrats lose an asskicker ... goodbye Robert Wexler

Unfortunately, Rep. Robert Wexler is resigning in January to take over as head of the Washington-based Center for Middle East Peace & Economic Cooperation. He’s a fearless advocate for progressive causes and isn’t afraid to call bullshit when necessary.  One of my favorite moments of the ‘08 primaries was when Wexler handed snake oil dispenser Harold Ickes his ass at the RBC meeting in DC.  If you want to relive the moment, you can do so after the 7:30 mark:

RELATED: Hey, what a surprise. Erick Erickson, without a shred of evidence, is wondering aloud—because he’s a fucking dick—if Wexler is under criminal investigation. I think Erickson and Glenn Beck should just get it over with and have a bake-off already.

Ahh, what a great day that was.

Cue the kitties congratulating themselves on the loss of a true progressive congressman.

helenk(of “pumas,bubbas,equalists,conspiracists” fame)hasn’t gotten over it yet:

“I doubt that Wexler will be missed. I remember him from the rules committee bowing down to backtrack. at the expense of the country”

I remember watching that live,Ickes had no idea what hit him.

I’m wondering if Wexler might actually be facing an indictment and trying to get out of it.

I’m wondering if Erick Erickson might actually be facing charges for blowing goats in public and is trying to get out of it.

While folks remember Wexler from the RBC meeting, and the Colbert Report appearance, not so many remember the Sundance reality show The Hill featuring his staff.

Which is the one thing about this that makes me wonder if something’s up.  You can tell there’s a fierce loyalty between Wexler and his staff.  This move leaves them unemployed in a sucky economy.  I’m just saying it surprises me.

I can’t recall.  Was that before or after Harriet Christian got thrown out?:-)

Erick sprinkles rock salt on his nads and lays down in the goat pen.

HTP, that’s what we call “a Snowe job.”

That guy got steel cojones.

Maybe he’ll take them with him to the think tank.

Gimmeabreak,

“Was that before or after Harriet Christian got thrown out?”

Must have been before but I am not sure.

P.S - is your nick inspired by the 80s TV show?
