Respect

Well look who's a sore... winner. Barney Frank is offended, offended that he had to campaign, that someone dared to run against him. That doesn't sound like the words of a man who won by double digits.

That, is what entitlement looks like. A politician that goes ballistic over having to run for what we used to call public service. Consider it, if they're this angry at having a slight treat to their power, how entitled will they be when it comes to exercising that power?

No wonder they think they can run our lives better than we can.

As always, Reynolds has the best advice:

But Frank’s childish behavior provides a good lesson in how to deal with the political class. Mock them, and don’t treat them with the respect they — wrongly — feel is their due. They’re not used to being challenged. Keep it up, and odds are they’ll either quit, or embarrass themselves fatally.

That's why if you find yourself near a politician, record everything.
