The other title I had in mind was “Too big for yer britches, eh?”
Reading a post over at The Corner, on Larry Sabato’s (the political professor) thoughts about Cantor’s loss last night, I had a thought on political hubris that several folks should take to heart (emphasis mine):
Q: What do you make of reform conservatism and what, if anything, does Cantor’s loss mean for it?
A: Old lessons first. Stay close to your district and closer to your base. Remember that people may be proud of a local boy who has made good, but that sentiment can turn quickly if voters think you’ve gone Washington or sense too much self-importance in you and your staff.
The question is, who did I have in mind?
It’s one reason I keep in mind that I’m just an ordinary schlub (so I don’t have to keep buying bigger hats) even though being in DC ain’t in my bucket list.
