Somebody Else for Seattle Port Commission #1

Ehhhhlection '09

Should a crypto-right-winger and Temporary Restrainee like John Creighton be allowed to simply skate through the general election unopposed? I don't think so. Clearly, then, the only solution is to write-in Susan Robinet. Poetic justice is an excellent campaign slogan.

Update (11/4/09): So far there are 3032 write-ins in this race. That's 1.78%, the biggest write-in percentage of all the races.

Bad meme

It is already being pointed out that David Letterman is not, definitely not, a hypocrite for basically dating women in his company when he was single. But the other way in which the finger-pointing Palinites are wrong is this: if dating becomes wrong, then (alleged) extortionists become whistleblowers.
