Slog - Comments on Dino Rossi's Chief of "Non-Partisan" Staff http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/07/dino_rossis_chief_of_nonpartisan_staff To shush the critics of his non-profit group, Forward Washington, Dino Rossi likes to name check Lou Guzzo. The criticism is that Rossi's organization is actually a partisan campaign group. Guzzo is on Forward Washington's "Idea Bank" committee—a committee Rossi has tasked with presenting FW's ideas to the legislature. And Rossi thinks name checking Guzzo will quiet the critics because Guzzo once worked for Democratic Governor Dixy Lee Ray. Sorry, Dino. That's not too convincing. Dixy Lee Ray was a conservative Democrat and well... welcome to the world of Lou Guzzo. You will not believe the stuff this guy says....

Needless to say, they (and I) didn't mean it literally, but it does roll off of the tongue so nicely...

Uh. This is not a sign that he isn't a radical extremist far-right Red Bushie.

Just a confirmation that he actually is.

And I should point out Dick's gives a lot of money to Boys & Girls Clubs in Seattle.
