Ginormous Tool to Retire

Josh Marshall says:

Evan Bayh will announce today he's retiring from Congress. Which is a huge blow for the Democrats and a big, big surprise.

How, exactly, is it a "huge blow for the Democrats"?  It's not like they're leveraging their majority or anything, so what's one less Democratic senator, especially a "centrist" nitwit like Bahy?

As for surprises, it's big big, alright. As in a big, big pleasant surprise. 

Good riddance, loser.

Update:  See?  The guy's a dick.  He's always been a dick.  He'll always be a dick.  When does he officially become a lobbyist?
