Burns says media dishonest to him
He stopped only briefly to chastise Montana reporters, saying he was "taken advantage of."
"Look you guys, I hate to tell you this, but I don't have anything to say, OK," he angrily told reporters from The Associated Press and Gazette State Bureau. "I want to thank you all for your good humor and everything ... you weren't very honest with me and the only way I can be honest with you is not to say anything."
Blaming the media for his loss isn't sucking it up and accepting responsibility for his actions. If Burns wouldn't have been accepting money/bribes from Abramoff he might not have been in this position.
The real killer for his re-election bid? Burns's own big mouth, not the media. They just reported things he said. If Conrad wouldn't have criticized and belittled firefighters like he did he might have won the campaign. His little "faux pas" when he berated the firefighters changed enough votes that he lost the election.
Be a man Sen. Burns, accept responsibility for your actions and quit blaming others. It's sickening.
A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be. Albert Einstein
