We’ve known for quite a while now that Sen. Jeff Flake was planning on retiring, but not before fully transforming into some little junior Resistance apprentice. You’d think he’d at least retire with the respect of progressives, but if you read the comments on any of his tweets, they’re all angry at him for being all talk and no action.
So who wants to read his farewell address to Congress? CNN has reprinted it in full, and Jake Tapper provided a handy link Thursday afternoon.

Rusty nails hammered into my eyes would be better than reading Flake’s drivel.

How many of his "addresses" are we supposed to care about? Bye Jeff, thanks for the seat.

I would literally rather pee jagged shards of glass.
I'm serious.
Before reading anything this pompous blue falcon babbles, I would take broken bits of glass, put it in my bladder, and piss it out again. https://t.co/vsiHEYaDUL

No I don’t think I will. He’s wasted enough of people’s time with his empty words.

Jeff Flake, a man who might have been a great republican.
Except for that whole republican thing.

Is it just twenty minutes of air leaking out of a balloon?

Should I start reading this now or wait until he changes his mind and releases a completely different one?
