When Olympia Snowe announced her sudden retirement yesterday, President Obama put out the following statement:
For almost three decades, Olympia Snowe has served the people of the great state of Maine. Elected to the state House in 1973, Olympia went on to be the first woman in American history to serve in both houses of a state legislature and both houses of Congress. From her unwavering support for our troops, to her efforts to reform Wall Street, to fighting for Maine’s small businesses, Senator Snowe’s career demonstrates how much can be accomplished when leaders from both parties come together to do the right thing for the American people. Michelle and I join Mainers in thanking Senator Snowe for her service, and we wish her and her family all the best in the future.
Translation: If you were going to retire anyway, why didn’t you just vote for the fucking healthcare bill? We all know you wanted to. Bitcah.

I see what you did there with the title of this post.
Indeed, it’s a helluva drug.
