"Has anyone else been such a stellar loser?"

Let's see: Vice President of the United States; United States Senator; Ambassador to Japan; military veteran; man asked by the grieving family of Paul Wellstone to run for their father's Senate seat.

And then there's: Fired New York Times writer; failed New Republic editor; inaccurate and incompetent columnist; gay man shilling for a anti-gay President and his party, and employed by the rabidly anti-gay Washington Times; total days of public service: zero; total votes received in any election, anywhere: zero.

There's your answer.
