Rep. David Obey (D-Wisc.) and Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.), both retiring, quipped on Sunday their hopes for life outside of politics.

Asked what he is most looking forward to by CNN host Candy Crowley, Dorgan replied "More time ... More time to do interesting things."

Obey was more colorful with his answer.

"Playing more music and perhaps increasing my allotment of gin and tonics from time to time," he said.

"I'll stay away from the gin and tonics," Dorgan retorted lightly.

The two have served 41 and 18 years, respectively, in Congress. 

They will be replaced by Republicans John Hoeven in North Dakota and Sean Duffy in Wisconsin.
