Politics Republicans Shut Out Press
posted by October 10 at 13:02 PM
onThe GOP is holding its annual fall fundraising dinner tonight ($100 a head) in SeaTac.
The theme of the dinner is “Run Dino Run.” Run from Forward Washington is more like it for the disgraced former executive director of the nonprofit, which is now under investigation by the state for its possible partisan political activity. Unfortunately, the dinner is closed to the press.
The Spokesman-Review’s “Eye on Olympia” blog has the story.
The analogous fall fundraiser on the Democratic side, the Maggie Awards, is scheduled for Oct. 22 at Benaroya Hall and is open to the press. (Hillary Clinton is speaking).
The speaker at tonight’s GOP event is Georgia governor Sonny Perdue, who has an affection for the confederate flag.

Schweet. The jokes just write themselves, don't they?
There aren't many people with my last name. Why are so many of them oxygen thiefs?
Lostboy, count your blessings-- the first famous person ever to bear my last name is Michael Vick.
drew @3, point taken. I suppose we can both be glad we weren't born to the Santorum clan.
Most people would be proud to be named after perhaps the greatest motorcycle racer ever. Most people will tell you that Rossi is a gentleman both on and off the track. I don't understand why The Stranger won't give him a break.
Why do the Red Bushies hate our American core values of Truth, Justice, and a Free Press so very very much?
Rossi is slime.
No, Will. You are wrong about Rossi.
When you encounter slime from say a slug or from the jowls of a dog you know it's slime.
Rossi is clever slime.
Next time Will, please use more caution so as not to harm honest slime's reputation.
Sorry, my bad. Besides, some slime is algae, and we can use that for bio-fuel.
Aw c'mon you guys, why can't the WA-GOP get together, knock back a few scotch-and-sodas, and tell some racist/sexist/homophobe jokes without you MSM-types going all nukular on they asses?
I was at work the other day when the phone rang. It was some horrid telemarketer for the GOP, telling me that they needed to raise money for Dino Rossi because Christine Gregoire (sp?) is making such a mess of things.
I finally stopped her and asked her who she was calling for, because if there's one thing I ain't, it's a Republican. She gave me the name of the person who had my workstation before me: A retiree who is a real moron. (why would a union member be a Republican?)
Anyway, I told her that she was calling a City of Seattle government number, and that she should lose it.
