Why Everyone Hates This Person

Excruciatingly painful lack-of-self-awareness quote of the year:

"I don't want to re-litigate this, but there is no doubt in my mind we could have won that race."

Can you guess who said this? Has to be Ice Queen Sarie, right? Nobody else is so blissfully ignorant of her own full responsibility for electoral catastrophe.

Except .... Yes, it's Rahm Emmanuel! Talking about the Massachusetts Senate race!

The race Rahm his very own self handed to a repug with no chance in hell of coming within 20 points of anyone the dems put up, even a zombie like Coakley.

The race that Rahm guaranteed to be a public relations disaster through one solid year of sabotaging real Democrats and liberal legislation every chance he got.

The very same Rahm Emmanuel who deliberately and with malice aforethought destroyed the Democrats' chances of passing any legislation that would actually help people survive this economic catastrophe.

Yes, Rahm, you own this defeat, one hundred and ten percent of it.
