		<description><![CDATA[Analysis State Sen. E.J. Pipkin (R-36) has never liked losing, although he has done a lot of it in his repeated failed efforts to move up the political ladder in Maryland. So it is perhaps not surprising that he and his political cohort, Del. Michael Smigiel, who recently lost a campaign for a Cecil County judgeship, are screaming so loudly over the decision by new County Executive Tari Moore to remove their power to appoint her replacement on the County Council. “Benedict Arnold,” harrumphed Smigiel on Facebook, utilizing his usual hyperbole and bluster to attack Moore, whom he also maligned in personal terms by claiming she “has no honor.” Smigiel and Pipkin did not attend Monday’s swearing-in ceremonies in Elkton for Moore as County Executive and for fellow Republicans Robert Hodge and Dr. Alan McCarthy as members of the new County Council. Also absent were the Smipkin-aligned holdover County Commissioners/Council members Diana Broomell (R-4) and Michael Dunn (R-3.) Both Broomell and Dunn are former employees of Smigiel as aides in his legislative office. If they had attended, they might have been seated in the front row, next to US Rep. Andy Harris (R-1), who defeated Pipkin in the 2008 GOP [&#8230;]]]></description>
