Having run their campaigns, at least in part, by demonizing the other side, they refuse to give it up after winning. When combined with gloating, it is particularly ugly and reminds me of the (apocryphal?) tale of the Romans requiring a General receiving a triumphal parade have a slave standing behind him the whole time, whispering that he is, after all, just a mortal man and that this, too, shall pass. Perhaps we'd do well to incorporate some hired flack to do the same for our winning politicians.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-62705608989337687452008-11-10T14:46:00.000-05:002008-11-10T14:46:00.000-05:00Must be some of those folks who think there's a pl...Must be some of those folks who think there's <A HREF="http://poynter.org/column.asp?id=67&aid=146759" REL="nofollow">a place for satire in reporting</A>.<BR/><BR/>OT- <A HREF="http://oldgrouch.mee.nu/aoshq_drink_your_worries_away_meetup_datetime_now_firm" REL="nofollow">Time is set</A> (at 3 p.m.) for AoSHQ meetup.
