Last night was a comedy night, so a real post is still forthcoming. For now, I said the following about Evan Bayh in March of 2010 while criticizing Ezra Klein's overly deferential interview of the retiring gasbag:
Now that he has had this spiritual epiphany he's quitting a position of tremendous power because attempting to fix the problem would be too hard. Thanks for playing. I have fifty bucks that says he takes a lobbying job six months after his term ends.

I want my $50. And for the Chamber of Commerce of all places. What, Lockheed Martin wasn't hiring?
HoosierPoli says:
No one in their right mind would have taken that bet. The revolving door is the new kickback, and by new I mean quite old.
David says:
What a smarmy, slimey fuckwad. I rarely use the word hate, but in this instance…I hate this man. Fuck him. I hope he chokes on his wife's dick.
Elder Futhark says:
Well, since he never had to buy in, you can't accuse him of selling out.
PWL says:
Well, isn't that why you go into politics these days…so you can get a big fat job afterwards with the people you shilled for while in Congress?
(Wanna bet that's what Brary does when his days in the Oval Office are over?)

@David: LMAO! Perfect.
zach says:
My long shot "What the fuck is he thinking?" response is that he wants to be VP on the Republican ticket. That's the only thing I can think of with his ridiculous 180 degree spin from "Washington is too partisan" to ingratiating himself to the worst of corporatism via the Chamber and a contract with Fox News.
He's just finally made it complete acceptable to say what nearly every Democrat in Indiana has thought for years, that the guy is a dick and only cares about himself. There were plenty of that opinion, just too many afraid to say it since his lackeys controlled the state party.

At the time, Marc Cooper also called out this scumbag, in his avuncular fashion:

In fact, if memory serves, Bayh was such a big-money tool that his self-serving "moment of reckoning" didn't sell to anyone left of Gordon Gekko.
Middle Seaman says:
Bayh represents legions of Americans who thing that the Republicans are nice people. When the revolution comes, we'll get rid of them all. (We dream.)
Da Moose says:
The head of the Chamber is a member of my parrish. He is an enormous asshole.
