[politics] Chutzpah
Dec. 30th, 2004 05:59 amFor those who don't know, chuztpah used to be defined as the quality that allows one to kill one's parents and then beg the court for mercy on the grounds that one is an orphan.
Republican crybaby Dino Rossi has updated the definition.
For those who don't recall, Washington state's gubenatorial race took a long time to count and originally came up with the Republican winning by less than 1%. Long story short, the Republicans spent their time arguing that the result should stand, the Democrats pointed out legitimtely cast votes that were not counted.
For years now, we've been hearing Republicans tell us how terrible it was that we wanted a recount in Florida. I don't think we ever asked for a do-over.
