Haven’t Those Kids Suffered Enough?

posted by on October 12 at 14:16 PM

The Mayor’s office is circulating an overheated email letting us all know that Marianne Bichsel, Nickels’ senior communications advisor, is stepping down. Apparently she’s been tagged to be the communications director for the Casey Family Foundation, a group that provides funds for foster care institutions.

You may remember Marianne’s greatest hits, such as “We don’t think it’s necessary at this time” or “perhaps funding will be included in the budget.” And who could forget this golden oldie: “The mayor says the idea has merit.” Here’s hoping she brings a higher level of excitement, clarity and honesty to those poor poor foster kids.

OK, Seattle 2007 is now just trying to be Tacoma 2003. When will the ex-council members start committing suicide?

Maybe there's hope for her, if she's heading into less repulsive work...

I think politics is about as low as you can go these days.

Ask Al Gore.
