Who???

Posted by on January 12 at 16:16 PM

Candidate #43, Alon Bassok, an egghead academic (a transportation planning PhD candidate at UW) just stole the show!

Speaking in a monotone drawl, and at first not speaking into the microphone, he proceeded in his 3 minutes to tell homey anecdotes (years ago he almost ran over his prof at music school eliciting the quip from his instructor: you drive a car like you walk a bass) and then made his political agenda clear: low-income housing and transportation.

Crisp and concise. The council should let this unknown advance to the interview round.

OMG! Charlotte Marie-Grace Carroll, you are PRECIOUS!

Jean Godden has nothing to envy Josh and Erica. Hell, they should just move from their seats and take their lap topped butts and sit next to her and assume their gossip columnist roles.

Sue ( dude looks like a lady) Donaldson should just stay at the UDub. This isnt a 90's revival, I want some new candidates. FFS whats next.. Sherry "fucking' Harris?

3 minutes is not enough time, and unfortunately the council gets to pick somebody they feel they can get along with. 3 minutes wasnt enough time for somebody to say something loony and worthwile.

OOOHHH how impressive Sue said she would take over the schools... Wow thats original..

Surprising that Erica didnt put Daryl ( I ran Casa Latina out of the Rainier Valley) Smith in bold.

Im still waiting for a candidate that says I'm going to build the monorail AND iM going to beat the crap out of Tim Ceis if elected. I hold a regional belt in Thai Boxing. =)


I'm interested in what #91 has to say.

I also thought Lisa Kagen was pretty good. I thought David Hopkins was well-spoken, (not that that's a qualification for the gig.)

But Alon Bassok is my new boyfriend so back off.
