Goldy vs. Stefan vs. Darcy

Posted by on April 6 at 11:28 AM

Stefan Sharkansky tries to beat down rising Dem superstah Darcy Burner.

Goldy at HorsesAss.com succeeds in beating down Stefan Sharkansky.

Oh, please Dan...

Supporting Goldy on this is laughable.

If the situation were reversed, Goldy would be screaming like an old woman.

However you slice it, a Program Manager at Microsoft is not an executive position.

As one of Goldy's posters pointed out, Goldy spent the better part of a month bleating on about how Mike Brown brown listed on his resume that he was not an Assistant City Manager, rather than the Assistant to the City Manager.

So yes, Darcy Burner calling herself a Microsoft Executive is in the EXACT same Ballpark.

I think the next time fair Goldy wants to fight Stefan, he should leave his purse at home.

Hey, Dan, I'll pose the same question to you that I emailed to Eli.

In Eli's March 15 profile of Burner, he wrote: "18 months ago, she decided it was time to pursue her interest in politics and retired from Microsoft in order to focus on a run for Congress"

Did Burner tell The Stranger that when she left Microsoft (apparently in the fall of 2004) that her first stop was UW Law School?

The idea that we're talking about Darcy Burner as a "rising superstar" seems to be an example of the Paris Hiltonization of politics: people become famous for being famous.

Did anyone read her op-ed piece in The Seattle Times a month or so ago where she trashed George W. Bush for his hypocrisy in saying America was addicted to oil? The solutions she proceeded to described were, well, warmed-over George W. Bush.

I guess with the Paris Hiltonization of politics, we are left with politicians who can say they stand for something, that something being standing for something. I suppose in Darcy Burner's suburban district, this is what people go for.

I haven't finished my BA, so I don't so not finishing a law degree as any big deal.

WGAS?

Did Burner tell The Stranger that when she left Microsoft (apparently in the fall of 2004) that her first stop was UW Law School?

I have a better question: Who the fuck cares?

So, in other words, "She lied about her background. Who the fuck cares?"

What lie has she told? None that I can find.

She claimed to be a Microsoft executive; she had responsibility for a multi-million dollar budget and major company programs, which certainly meets the plain English definition of the word. She did not lie about her title, the scope of her responsibilities, the dates of her employment, or anything else -- so what supposed lie?

She claimed to have left Microsoft to pursue a career in politics (and this is substantiated on a blog entry from 2004), and apparently spent a year at the UW Law School first in order to better understand the law -- as that 2004 blog entry also said was her plan. What lie has she supposedly told there?

I have yet to see a single substantiated untruth emerge. It's all speculation and innuendo, and so far all of the proof comes down on Burner's side.

Or does that not matter?
