QUOTE OF THE DAY: Department of Brutal Self-Criticism

"BIGGEST LOSER: Stranger politics writer Sandeep Kaushik. While it was long ago evident that he is a total fool, the discovery of King County's ballot counting error makes his call for Gregoire to concede after the first recount ["Lose. Recount. Spin." Dec 2] look truly stupid."-Mr. Kaushik, awarding himself the honor in, "WINNERS & LOSERS--Who's Really Up and Who's Really Down in the Governor's Race," from today's new Stranger. In journalism, let alone politics, this kind of honesty is stunning and rare. I guess he keeps the title, bestowed by this would-be journalist, "most charming political writer," Emerald City Division.
