Rep. Meehan won't seek reelection

[Hortensis]

13. Fwiw, even Repub spinner Chris Cilizza admits he's guilty.

Are there any Republican legacies from the 2010 election who haven't misused taxpayer funds or smashed through other ethical or legal constraints?

Bits of Meehan's letter as reported by Cilizza:

Oh, Pat Meehan. No, no, no, no.
..."You are and have been a complete partner to me and you have brought me much happiness." In the letter, he also argues that there is more to come for the two of them. "As we travel our paths together, I am comforted that there is more unwritten," writes Meehan.

He says that "in hindsight" he should have been more aware of the power dynamic between the two -- he as a member of Congress and she as a staffer. Then he offers this doozy: "There is no hierarchy -- we call it Team Meehan."
