Say Anything blog has the understatement of the year about
Dede Scozzafava: "Her calls for unity seem a bit weak after she
essentially stabbed Republicans in the back by backing the
Democrat candidate." A bit weak, indeed:
Scozzafava continues playing the victim, claiming her
conservative opponents engaged in "vicious" attacks. She displays
a spectacular lack of self-awareness: "We need leadership that's
going to make sure that the party is strong going forward and
that independent voices are heard from all ranks of the party."
Right -- Dede was anointed as the Republican nominee in NY23
by a cabal of GOP insiders, and now she whines about the
need to listen to "independent voices."
Scozzafava dares to talk about "core principles" (!) and adds
this: "Hopefully a lesson can be learned, and we can move forward
and make the party stronger." Right -- she endorses the Democrat,
then claims to want a stronger GOP.
