The Alcee Hastings concession letter

From The Corner by way of The Plank, Alcee Hastings ends his letter announcing he won’t be chair of the House Intelligence committee with the best closing of a political concession announcement ever:

Best of all, I will be seeking better and bigger opportunities in a Democratic Congress. There is much to be accomplished and little time to re-set this nation’s economic and spiritual compass. I look forward to working with our new Speaker of the House and all of my colleagues to see that we do this at once.

Sorry, haters, God is not finished with me yet.
