Anybody have any entries for the least gracious, most churlish concession speech Tuesday night?
I'm nominating outgoing Rep. Melissa Hart (R-PA). Asked why she got taken down by Jason Altmire, Hart said it was Altmire's horrible negative campaigning ...
“I was not going to play the games. Unfortunately I think that took a toll. In retrospect, I had everyone in Washington, D.C., significant number of my colleagues, call me and say you need to cut his legs off, was the term they used,” Hart said. “And you know what, you don’t need to cut his legs off. He clearly did that his entire campaign, he’s new at this, I that hope he doesn’t do it the next time.”
That's nice.
I actually didn't get the impression this was even a particularly nasty campaign.
Hart, remember, was one of the rubberstamps Hastert and DeLay stacked the Ethics Committee with after they purged the committee early last year.
