Comments on It's Official: Rossi is Running for Governor

The political environment in Washington has changed so much since he was a State Senator. He was actually very socially conservative and pretty extreme for a King County Republican. Last time he attempted to pretend he was a moderate. I sure hope he does not try to get away with that again.

He's hot.

The republican front-runner for governor doesn't have a stance on Prop 1? Unbelievable. (that's it for now...I'm looking at that "Hot night for lesbians and their friends" ad).

What a douche. So is he going to give up all the money that he took at his “Non Profit Non partisan” group. Is he going to comply with the PDC laws. Man I can’t wait until Governor Gregoire hand him his ass again.

Note to king County voters. Don’t be cute and vote for Ron Sims in the general election. That shit was not funny.

Mr Poe, you have our blessings to grudge fuck Dino Rossi....

Then post the pics on line.

(1) On behalf of all residents of Issaquah, let me just say: BBBLLLEEERRRGGGGGHHHHGGGGGGHHGHHHH. Ahh, my stomach feels so much better now that ten pounds of vomit is gone.

(2) Dino agrees with Josh and Erica on Prop. 1! Yay!

Does he have any plans on reducing exorbidant Ticketmaster fees? Josh, I thought our date for From The Jam was going to cost me 50 bucks for 2, turns out it was 75 dollars! Oh well, you're worth it.
Don't you love the way 'Start!' makes it blaringly obvious they lifted the bass line from the Beatles' 'Taxman'? I think everyone was cool with it too, no courtroom dramas.
"And what you give it what you get"

Close your bold tag -- everything on the Slog is now in semibold!

Wait, removing congestion and not increasing taxes?

Talk about a big fat Liar.

Why does he hate Washington so?

oh, Mr Poe, I agree...

he's dreamy!

an idiot, but a dreamy idiot.

and I love the new choco-fudge hair color, so popular with male celebrities over 45, (Tom Hanks, Travolta, Tom Selleck, Billy Crystal; I think Cruise is starting to dip into it)

Where to begin?

1. The diminutive of Valentino might be Tino, if you wanted to go by Tino. "Dino" makes no sense.

2. Valentino Rossi is not your friend -- I can tell by that harsh "I gave you something to write about" line. So you aren't really close enough to call him by any Tino or Dino (sic) nickname.

3. The guy in those pictures is NOT Valentino Rossi. That's some square in a suit. It's like you don't even try to get this stuff right. Although that umbrella girl in the background of the second one is kind of cute.

There were a lot more mistakes in your post but that's all I have time for for now.

PS: Please write something about Casey Stoner. It isn't all about Rossi, you know.

I'd rather let him grudge fuck me. Then I'll post pics.

Dino told you he did not mention health insurance in his announcement speech?

It's just another day and this is just another flat out lie from Dino Rossi.

What I want to know Josh, is, was Dino smiling when he said this?

At least here, one can say what a lying sack of shit this Dino fraud is.

Tom Hanks is one of the ugliest motherfuckers on the face of the Earth. Right next to John C. Reilly and Woody Harrelson.

Sweet! I'm sure that at Gregoire headquarters, people are already signing long term leases.

@14, but Woody Harrelson is packing a very large cock.

Rossi will say anything. He has nothing solid to run on this election.

Congestion and higher teacher salaries without raising taxes? PUHleeez. If he wants anyone to take him seriously in Seattle he's going to have to try much harder than that.

The dude looks like the elf CEO of Santa's toy shop.

Exactly. And an untrustable hair cut.

@6: yeah, you beat me to the punch. Speaking for the poor, liberal inhabitants of Issaquah: we didn't vote for you then, and we wont' vote for you now. And seriously. Announcing at the Village? You do realize that's just about the gayest place in Issaquah, right? They do musical theater, for chrissakes!

elenchos - do you feel like you have to hate Stoner next year because he is unfucking beatable?

Do you look for the missing Bayliss finger?

I'm rooting for Hopper.

Rossi will always be the greatest, and if ever all the bikes were equal (which they never are) that could be proven. I'd like to see him show that he didn't need Honda as much as Honda needed him.

But that Yamaha with pneumatic valves? What's up with that? I don't think the game was ever meant to be played with pneumatic valves. It ain't right. What's next? Jet engines? Rockets?

If Stoner is unbeatable, that's fine with me. He rides a Ducky, I ride a Ducky. We have that in common.

John Hopkins? Suzuki riders are thought of as hooligans. I'm not saying they are, but it's just something that gets said about you. You know how people talk.

Why does he always remind me of George Hamilton? Perhaps its the fake tan.

9, Will in Seattle, you take a cheap shot at Rossi. He will limit spending on education and transportation, run down our economy and drive businesses and jobs out of state. Fewer drivers = less congestion, and all while decreasing taxes. It's beautiful!

So I'll have the pleasure of voting against him again? Wonderful. 2008's shaping up to be a fun election year.

Jet fuel, why not jet engines? But you are right, that's not right.

Rossi might be the best there ever was, but I like underdogs and I like a race. It's tough to see Stoner and Rossi always winning and Edwards and Hopper and Hayden always stitting at the back. Hayden's race in Australia was heartbreaking - if he didn't beat Stoner, he would have been close.

Not to say I'm just rooting for Americans - Loris and Vermeulen are fun to watch.

Have you read the Rossi bio? Don't.

Last time Rossi ran as a car salesman saying little about his fleet of cars other than that they were new. Sure, he found some buyers.

This time around all Dino's cars are used. The paint is oxidized and they drip oil. This time buyers will be much harder to find.

Ebenezer, you don't have to worry about anyone else driving jobs out of state--democrat governors have already taken care of that: witness Boeing getting the heck out of town with their headquarters.
