Bart Stupak to Retire

Due to his health care vote, he will likely be taken care of by the powers that be for life.

Michigan Rep. Bart Stupak, the congressman who led anti-abortion rights Democrats in the House during health care negotiations, will retire this year, CBS News has learned. He is expected to announce his plans later this morning.

Had Stupak sought re-election, he would have faced challengers from both the left and the right backed by interest groups angered by Stupak's health care vote.

Rumor has it Bwarney Fwank as well.
