Cong. Robert Wexler of Florida will leave his seat in midstream to take the reigns as an exec with The Center for Middle East Peace and Economic Cooperation, a group with little to do with 'Peace' and more to do with the 'Economic' side, from a one-sided perspective. One of the groups founders and activists also founded J street, not exactly a bastion of the law and order Wexler so fervently fought for. Maybe he and/or they think he can add some respectability?? Fat chance of that. A big loss and disappointment. Sarah Palin apparently inspired an important and popular Democrat to walk out on his job, too.

Sadly, I was one of HuffPo's early readers. I read an interview with Ariana announcing the launch of HuffPo and decided to sign-in on the day she launched.
