Staffer for a Republican congressman on Marilyn Musgrave: "She's some piece of work."
..... Musgrave has been in hiding ever since Betsey Markey thoroughly thrashed her in last month's election. She has refused to concede, let along congratulate Congresswoman-elect Markey, who beat her by a whopping 12 points, one of the worst drubbings any incumbent from either party took anywhere in America. It's what you would call a thorough and complete repudiation by the voters of Colorado's 4th CD. But the unhinged Musgrave doesn't see it as a repudiation at all. Congress' most fanatic hate-monger, Musgrave has built a kind of political career on one issue: hysterical and irrational homophobia. She recorded a robo-call for her soul brother, Saxby Chambliss, which was targeted at mentally ill women in Georgia. In it she blames her lost re-election bid on "Pro-abortion radicals and liberal activists" and "leftist special interests" that "overwhelmed us with money and ... smothered the truth with vicious attacks and lies."

A staffer for one of the longest-serving Republican members of Congress told us he had never quite seen anything like it before. "She's some piece of work. No one could stand her and there's probably not a member of Congress who will miss her. I've worked here for almost two decades and I can't remember a losing member of Congress, from either party, not congratulating the winner."

I almost have to wonder if Musgrave will get a show on Fixed News or Hate talk radio.....
