Rep. Tom Lantos to Retire...


Rep. Tom Lantos (D-CA), the House Foreign Affairs Chair, will not be running for re-election after 28 years , due to illness. Lantos revealed that he has been diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus. We wish him a speedy recovery...
Lantos is the only Holocaust survivor to serve in Congress, and likely will be the only one. The one thing that always made me laugh with Lantos is his accent. Not to pick on him, but he sounds exactly like Roman Moronie from "Johnny Dangerously." Watching C-SPAN, I would always wish he'd say "You Suminabatchin' fargin' Republicans are a bunch of fargin' corksackers !!". He never did. Oh well.....

Why does Lantos look like The Joker?
