Tripping

Talking Points Memo reader MB on the Democrats' cry-baby antics over the Massachusetts election result:
To me, it's like getting ten feet from the summit of Mount Everest, tripping on some ice and declaring that not only can you not make it any further, but that surely you are doomed to die of frostbite on the mountain. Well, if you just lay there feeling sorry for yourself, surely you will. But if you dust yourself off and keep walking, you'll probably be fine.
