Losers

I think it's Vince Lombardi who said, "Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser." Eight times? That's a record that doesn't come by chance. These consultants are, indeed, playing the Washington Generals to the Republican Globetrotters.
Eight times. Let me spell it out:
Lose.
Lose.
Lose.
Lose.
Lose.
Lose.
Lose.
Lose.
Had enough? Let's start with Dean for the DNC chair.
