2. Just saw that on TPM. Hate to see him go.
His voice is loud and liberal.

3. Did I hear right that he's going to be Ambassador to Israel?

The way I figure, if you're leaving Congress to start a new gig, it had better be a pretty good gig. This one looks like a good challenge.

Shame to see him leave the House - he's been awesome there.

5. No, he is joining a Middle East peace think-tank
Wexler said he would leave the House in January to become president of the Center for Middle East Peace & Economic Cooperation, a job that would afford him "an unparalleled opportunity to work on behalf of Middle East peace for an important and influential non-profit institute. After much discussion with my family, I have decided that I cannot pass up on this opportunity."
