  • Bill Paxon's announcement that he's leaving politics when his term ends, so shocks the pundits that some of them (O'Beirne, Al Hunt on Capital Gang ) accept his advertised reason--the standard Washington lie that he wants to spend more time with his family.

  • This came as a shock, because Paxon was viewed as an ambitious fellow with a long career ahead of him.
