Normally, I’d say both the Democrats and Republicans do their fair share of whining about different issues. But even _Nixon_ congratulated his opponent, with much more evidence of misconduct, rather than be thought a sore loser after the election.

We need less whinin’. Or maybe Councilman Les Wynan?
