Politics The Burner Rally
Here are a couple of images from Darcy Burner’s noon rally at Westlake Plaza, an event designed to provide a counter-point to President Bush’s mid-day Medina fundraiser for Burner’s opponent, Dave Reichert.
Burner cast herself as the candidate who would stand up to the president, rather than stand with him. “Together, we are going to stop George Bush,” she told the crowd. State Democratic Party Chair Dwight Pelz was there and, as usual, he was good for a rabid quote: “This administration is nothing but a second-rate, jewlery store smash-and-grab robbery.” (Pelz is pictured below, with Burner.)
How short was this "rally"? I was down there at 12:15 and Burner & Pelz were nowhere to be found.
