From Andrew Bolt:
John McCain is beaten, and this is what I haven’t yet seen or heard:
- Screams that the vote was rigged.
- Lawyers taking the result to court.
- The loser blaming anyone but himself.
- Angry celebrities vowing to move overseas.
- Stickers claiming the winner stole the election.
- Furious reporters denouncing ads by the losers’ critics.
- Furious reporters blaming the winner’s evil genius.
- The bitter losers warning the country “is more divided than ever”.
Graceful losers in a democracy need to be acknowledged just as much as graceful winners, if not more. At the very least, it may help to ensure the example catches on.
Too true.
