Slog - Comments on Slog: Good for Republicans Too! http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/06/slog_good_for_republicans_too I've got an item coming out in today's Stranger (similar to a Slog post I did yesterday) quoting the Washington State Democrats' preemptive strike on the state GOP. D State Party Chair Dwight Pelz warns the GOP not to funnel Norm Maleng's campaign war chest to Republican KC Prosecutor candidate Dan Satterberg. (Satterberg was longtime KC Prosecutor Maleng's chief of staff. Maleng died suddenly last month, leaving a $194,000 campaign fund.) I couldn't reach the GOP by deadline yesterday to get their response to Pelz's attack in print, but wonders of technology and blogging: I can post it here. So,...

Politics is a bare knuckle brawl, and "firing a shot across the bow" just lets those corrupt, lawless fuckers know that we're on to them, and if they try to pull any bullshit a la Tom DeLay, they're gonna get clocked. Tacky? Tawdry? What the fuck is this, a goddamned tea party?

We'll call this one...


DWIGHT DASTARDLY AND THE GRIEVING WIDOW


Porcine and pasty-faced, with an elaborate waxed mustache, he faces the sobbing widow and... MAKES HIS DEMAND!


All kidding aside, this has to be the single most boorish and ill-mannered approach to a bereaved widow I have seen in decades.


Dastardly Dwight should publicly apologize for this unwanted and loathsome intrusion into the bereavement of the Maleng family.


Given that the eventual use of these funds has always been said to be one or more of the Maleng's favored charities, Dastardly Dwight should, as an act of penance, agree to make a SUBSTANTIAL personal addition.


The funeral is barely past, and the family is, among other things, considering how the money can best be given to benefit our community and to memorialize their loved one.


Pelz has shown himself to be an AWFUL man, a true berk in the Cockney sense. Can you imagine your feelings if this bounder inserted himself into your family at a time like this?

Dwight Dastardly indeed.
