Unyielding social conservatives are going to sit in their 10% phone booth and compliment themselves and each other for achieving nothing in a principled manner.

at least they will be consistent....
calls to mind the lyrics of a tune from yesteryear....
beautiful loser... bob seger I believe.
"you just can't have it all..."

[ArneFufkin]

He's your oldest and your best friend
If you need him he'll be there again
He's always willing to be second best
The perfect lodger, the perfect guest

He never makes any enemies, enemies
He won't complain if he's down on his knees
He'll always ask, he'll always say please

Beautiful loser, never take it all
Because it's easier, and faster when you fall

I don't remember the first stanza. That's why I haven't followed through with that Bob Seger "Is he or isn't HE?" tribute tour.

McClintock ain't beautiful or gracious
