RIP Bob Bennett's Political Career, 1992 – 2010
Sen. Bob Bennett's nearly-20-year career in politics came to an abrupt and violent end during Utah's GOP convention over the weekend at the hands of an angry and bloodthirsty mob of teabaggers who have vowed a locust-like wave of destruction across the Republican landscape…Sen. Bob Bennett of Utah, seeking his fourth term, was denied renomination at the state party convention over the weekend, finishing third behind businessman Tim Bridgewater and lawyer Mark Lee, one of whom will win the nomination in a primary next month…
The Salt Lake Tribune describes the scene: "When it was announced that Bennett had been eliminated from the race, a huge ovation swept through the convention hall and there were hoots and shouts of 'He's gone! He's gone!' Other delegates hugged and tea party members waved their yellow 'Do Not Tread On Me' flags…"
The insufficiently-hyper-conservative senator's career is survived by Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch's career, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's career and Sen. Bob Bennett's upcoming lobbying career.
