And the Kool-Aid Award goes to... (hin't, it's about Doolittle retiring)

Today the news has been recycled that John Doolittle is retiring… I was also called about the status of John’s Communications director.
Having talked to Gordon Hinkle this morning, and having talked to other staff during the same phone call, no one has resigned yet.
No one seemed to know that John was retiring either.
John didn’t seem to know he was retiring while giving the keynote address last weekend at the CRA convention.
Rico Oller didn’t seem to know when he introduced John Doolittle issuing very strong and terse words for those that are seeking to run against him.
No one has e-mailed this blogger, just two phone calls asking questions.
This afternoon, I had two phone calls with Ron Rogers, JTD’s chief of staff who would certainly know if JTD had retired. Instead we were talking about JTD’s plans for the Christmas season and possibly hosting another Placer CRA event for the Congressman. These are certainly not phone calls one has with the Chief of Staff for someone who is retiring!
The blogger from the Stockton record is likely rehashing some old news from months ago when the Rico Oller rumors first surfaced. John Doolittle is not retiring any time soon…
Until JTD calls me from his palatial mansion to give me my talking points for how to spin his retirement, I have to say that anyone thinking John Doolittle is retiring is drinking the Kool-Aid! (or working for Charlie Brown)
To the special wing of the ABD caucus known as the Retirement Caucus – this Jug’s for You!

Is it important to ask when Doolittle will
retire or will we lose the seat. Are there
some Republicans want us to lose the seat and the answer is YES!! Let’s forget about
political ambition and get behind the Congressman.
