Politics “Anal-Sex Week” Landlord Maxes Out
posted by on July 17 at 16:29 PM
Remember Lou Novak, the landlord who had to resign his post as VP of the Rental Housing Association after he made a bigoted comment about the Lifelong AIDS Alliance?
In case you don’t, I’ll refresh your memory:
In case you hadn’t realized, last week was anal sex week in Olympia.That, at least, was the publicly proclaimed assessment of Lou Novak, a prominent apartment-building owner. Novak’s eagerness to express his views within earshot of HIV-positive citizens, including two children, who traveled to the state capital last week to lobby for greater AIDS prevention and care funding not only provoked a confrontation that led to an investigation by Capitol security, but has also provoked a minor firestorm among legislators.
A handful of advocates were exiting the main legislative building when they say they passed a man who loudly offered his troglodytic opinion of their activities. The leader of the contingent, Susie Saxton, executive director of CareBearers, a hospice organization in Yakima, was wearing a red “AIDS Awareness Day” T-shirt. She was accompanied by two other adults, as well as a 13-year-old girl and a 16-year-old who had contracted HIV from his mother, who had herself become infected through a blood transfusion during kidney surgery in the late 1980s.
“Looks like its anal sex week,” the man said as they passed him, according to Saxton.
Guess which politician he’s maxed out to?
Dino Rossi.
Since December 2007, Novak has donated $3,200 to Rossi’s gubernatorial campaign.
However, the donation shouldn’t surprise anyone familiar with Rossi’s record on gay rights.
In 2003, he voted against legislation that would have banned discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
In 2004 1996, he attacked an opponent, Kathleen Drew, by saying she had “sponsored a gay and lesbian art exhibit in the state capitol.” The exhibit was meant to honor the late Sen. Cal Anderson.
He voted for the Defense of Marriage Act as a state legislator and supporting George W. Bush in his call for a US constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.
You're weaving together non sequiturs Erica. Rossi and Novak are assholes, but Rossi will at least get us an 8-lane 520 bridge accros Lake Washington - and that's the most important issue for the State right now.
@1,
Sure he will. Then he'll buy everyone a new pony.
Typical.
While the #_ comes and goes and the anti gay bashing biggot slang slings around the peripheral of large dollar donations... the real story of Housing Markets and racism by land developers all over the country hiding their constituancy dollars on the east coast and puking them out on capitol hill friendlies goes virtually un-noticed at the level of exposure needed to change the on-line donation process and advertising budgets of stupid drill for more oil in the future offshore.
See UW tv professor global oceans show recently discussing cleaner fuel programs.
@1 - he won't pay for it, though.
Real Governors pay for what they build.
There isn't a chance in hell of an eight-lane bridge. Even if Rossi wins big, which ain't gonna happen, and the thing moves forward, it's going to spend at least a decade in court. And Rossi's hilarious "$3.3 billion" price tag is going to come out to closer to $50 billion by the time it finally happens. Rossi is barely even pretending to treat the numbers honestly.
This is not news. If we were all judged by the people we took money from, the homeless probably also have a good anti-gay streak going for them as well, given some of the Christian/Catholic charities that have set ups for them.
Raindrop @ 1:
You stupid piece of shit, if the bridge has eight lanes, what happens at each end of it? A big fat fucking bottleneck, that's what.
Even Dino Rossi is smarter than you are, because he *knows* he's full of shit, and you haven't figured it out yet.
Well, there's a bad ass bottleneck now. If four of the eight lanes are occupied by light rail and HOV, that leaves two all purpose lanes in each direction. And a wider bridge is a safer bridge. Also backups from disabled vehicles on the bridge will be alleviated.
When is Anal Sex Week, again?
