There Will Be Street Parties

Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) said Friday he will not seek reelection in 2014.

In a statement from his office, Rogers said he always believed in the idea of a "citizen legislature" and expected to return to the private sector.

He always believed in the revolving door, where he can turn his ex- government position into a much more lucrative future.

Are there Edward Snowden files revelations out there that make now a very good time for Mike Rogers to get out of the spotlight?
"As I close this chapter in my life, I am excited to begin a new one that allows me to continue serving as a voice for American exceptionalism and support a strong national security policy agenda."
American exceptionalism. Perfect person for an oversight committee, eh?
Rogers has become a regular voice on the Sunday morning political affairs shows. According to the Detroit News, he will take a job as radio talk show host after stepping down.
Seriously? Beck and Limbaugh need help?   Well, there's a lot of money in right wing radio.
