Best, most graceful political concession speech ever (deep sarcasm)

[Screaming Lord Byron]

Here's the background.

MISSISSAUGA -- One of the Liberal Party's ugliest and most personal battles came to a head last night with a victory by MP Carolyn Parrish over political archrival Steve Mahoney for the party's nomination in the newly created riding of Mississauga-Erindale.

Ms. Parrish's narrow victory (by a vote of 2,165 to Mr. Mahoney's 1,925) did nothing to clear the poisonous atmosphere that has characterized the battle between the two Liberal MP's.

Mr Mahoney's reaction on his loss?

"No power on Earth could make me congratulate her. The only person she'll be hearing from is my lawyer."

1. And I thought Dick Nixon's 1962 Governor's race concession was bad....

But this one tops even that.

2. What did Nixon say?

[Aristus]

3. The famous "You won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore."

Add a five-o-clock shadow and a sweaty lip and brow, and you've got the gist of it.

4. Of course. I'd forgotten that one.

6. W's "Concession speech?"

"Wahhhh!!! Mine mine mine! Daddy an' Unca Karl said I could keep it!" :-)

7. "Daddy! They're bein' MEAN ta me agin!"

"Now, now, son...we...we talked about this. You can't be thin-skinned if you want to be President. Wouldn't be prudent."
