Well, not quite retire. Webb is returning to the "private sector."

Webb was kind of a disappointment—once upon a time I thought he'd make a good VP choice—but I'm sorry to see him go because his decision not to seek reelection is going to make holding the seat for the Dems much more difficult. Imagine the batshittery the country will have to endure if the Rs manage to take both houses.

Perhaps we shouldn't decry shit like this—let 'em pass it, help the country remember why we turned these fuckers out in the first place.
