National press hammers Rep. MusgraveCalls her sore loserPeter Marcus, DDN Staff WriterThursday, November 20, 2008 | |
’Tis the season to hear stories about the Grinch. And from the looks of national political headlines, one might think lame duck Colorado Rep. Marilyn Musgrave stole Christmas.
Newsweek’s “The Dignity Index” gave Musgrave a pathetic 78 ranking — just a few short of “utterly shameless.” Flashing the headline “Nobody Likes a Sore Loser,” the magazine said the ousted congresswoman displayed “dubious behavior” for never congratulating Democratic rival Betsy Markey on her 4th Congressional District win. In fact, Musgrave is yet to concede the race.
And a column that appeared at Politico.com on Tuesday implied that Musgrave has shamefully taken to hiding after her “brutal loss.”
“Musgrave’s ill manners bleed into her own team,” writes Anne Schroeder Mullins in a column titled, “Bad blood for Musgrave.” “Rumor has it she still — 14 days later — hasn’t even thanked her campaign staff.”
