Who the fuck is running White's campaign? When I heard he was running, I was excited. He seemed like a really bright guy. I guess I was wrong.

Um, teve, are you sure you didn't mean Scott White? As if taking contributions from Glacier Northwest, Weyerhauser, Eli Lilly, and Qwest don't have "tool" written all over it.
