Mayor Nickels’s campaign manager, Viet Shelton, stopped by the Stranger today to pick up a Stranger T-shirt and to tell me that Mayor Nickels has decided not to interview with the Stranger editorial board because our recent coverage has been “unfair” and “too mean spirited.”

Specifically, Shelton cited our coverage of the Mayor’s Boy, city council candidate Casey Corr.

I guess what we said is true: If you want to rattle Team Nickels, challenge their boy Corr.
