Slog - Comments on Carlyle Promises to Burn Down Private Schools http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/carlyle_promises_to_burn_down_private_sc The SECB checks in on another hotly contested state house race... Reuven Carlyle—seen in the photo above—is running against John "Please Shut Up About the Latte Tax" Burbank for a state house seat from the 36th. Carlyle swears to God that his kids are in public schools, godfuckingdamnit. In fact, Carlyle hates private schools so much that he promises, if elected, to set fire to one private school a month until they're all DESTROYED! Carlyle's primary night party is at a house—his house—in a part of Queen Anne that overlooks Puget Sound. It's so beautiful up here that the SECB...

Once she said SAAS, he made sure to repeat that HIS kids were in Ballard High and left shortly thereafter.

Fuck. I am still pissed about that shit. Shut up about it? I'm not fucking over it yet. I'm not.

When I am over it, I will say so. Until then, no I will not fucking shut up about it.

I would have said that having the No Taxes For Ultra-Rich GOP Party making it through the primary was the bigger deal.

First time they weren't on the General Ballot.

I say "clan" because the guy and his wife had four or five kids with them. Their two-year-old daughter was impish and darling, and was being totally ignored as she alternated between dancing dangerously close to the street, and pouring out puddles of melty Jamba Juice on the sidewalk to stomp in. His wife was using her fingernails to pick food out of her teeth while perfecting her 1000-yard stare into empty space....

I'm pretty skeptical of lurkers who crawl out of the woodwork to post trash on the Slog during every election and then disappear when it's over. The message I get when I see posts like yours is that Carlyle has some low life enemies.

On the contrary, Carlyle is a big Obama supporter: http://www.reuvencarlyle.com/default.asp?ID=3

Carlyle supports actually dealing with the mistake made by that prior generation that built the damned thing in the first place. Plus, I'd vote for anyone who burned down one private school per month.
