A Sour Note

Bob Etheridge hurt his reelection campaign by losing his temper on a Washington, D.C. street when accosted by Republican dirty-tricksters.
 
He hurt his lasting reputation by showing a singular gracelessness when he conceded to Renee Ellmers:
 
“The combination of the national tide that swept the country, massive amounts of secret corporate cash funding a campaign of distortions, and dirty politics by Washington, D.C., partisan operatives was just too much to overcome.”
 
He should have heeded the immortal words of Dr. J – Julius Erving: “You’ve got to win without bragging and lose without whining.”
