Ouch.

But Nickels has reached that cliche plateau of the Peter Principle where he is over his head. Having the "Shark" build and move his machine does not create vision or leadership qualities (it only delays the day of reckoning-much like Rove's role).

Nickels needs to retire or get knocked out. Seattle deserves better-and the rest of the country is waiting as well.

As for Jean Godden, I wish I was as active, alert, and physically fit as her at 75-years-old.

So who are we going to push to be the next mayor or Seattle? Nickels put WAY too much of his political capital on the tunnel/viaduct vote and he just may have made himself a lameduck.....

how can you outmaneuver WSDOT & their submissive, Christine, unless you advocate a freeway, too? perhaps Nickels & Ceis knew that seattle was too scandinavian to pony up for a big dig, but knew the key was to take a rebuild off the table...

but let's look at the history:
1. we voted no on a stadium - we got that.
2. we voted yes on a monorail - we didn't get it.
3. we vote no & no on the waterfront - looks like we'll be getting a bid dit & a rebuild.

Thanks for making my day - I think that statement is the funniest thing I've read in awhile. It's so cute how you guys consider yourself to be real "press."

Can I still say "Pure=hot"?
