Far-right Sen. Jon Kyl (Papers Please - AZ) is announcing that he won't seek re-election in 2012. Kyl is the #2 Rethuglican in the Senate. Kyl has been one of the most severe critics of the Obama Administration on everything from health insurance reform to economic policy. Kyl joins several Senators -- Webb, Hutchinson, Conrad and Lieberliar -- who are throwing in the political towel for 2012.
Since Arizona is a safe Rethuglican state, it's interesting that Kyl would back out now. Most likely, he's gotten an offer he can't refuse from the private sector to lobby, etc. Thank you for servicing us, Senator -- in the animal husbandry sense, of course.
