In case you were ever in doubt about Republicans' disregard for the concept of public service, wonder no more: Pat Tiberi, a nine-term, white male GOP Congressman from Ohio, is not only not running for re-election in 2018, he says he'll resign by January.
See, he's gotten a real job — or what to him is a real job — at the Ohio Business Roundtable. So his constituents be damned.
We doubt that his seat comes into play — it's a pretty Republican district. But it means that the GOP will have to hold an expensive special-election primary to pick the next white male. So, good.
But we have to ask: Nine terms? Didn't Newt Gingrich used to say there should be no more than six? We cats HISS.
