Bitterness

Mike Littwin, after allowing his cup to run over with the bile of bitterness, finally gets around to taking a swing at Pete Coors. Given his druthers, Mike would have us believe that there should be two candidates standing in the center of the ring, armed with nothing but their respective ideologies, preparing to bludgeon one another into mute submission.

Oh, there were a few of you romantics out there - very few, apparently. And you know who you are. You voted for Mike "Keep the Change" Miles. You lined up with Bob "I Really Did Think Bill Owens Was My Friend" Schaffer.

But this was a race that was foretold almost as soon as Ben Nighthorse Campbell dropped out, when Ken Salazar jumped in ahead of his friend, Mark Udall, and the Republicans recruited Coors to save the party from falling on its sword with Schaffer- Owens making the announcement before Coors could change his mind. (And before Owens could get the blame for failing to run himself.)

Come on Mike, lighten up. It's the season ya know. You just can't get away with posing as a political idealist. You're a progressive way left of center homer....always have been , always will be. Just like the rest of us, you want your guy to win; and trying to cover that up with pseudo-objectivity and political idealism is beneath you. I say, let 'em take the gloves off and may the best man win.
