Slog - Comments on The Rossi Reader Board http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/the_rossi_reader_board Slog tipper Peter writes: I know that Dino Rossi doesn't want folks knowing that he is a Republican, preferring GOP Party instead. But did you know that he has jumped onto the change wagon and is now linking himself to Barack Obama as seen on the electronic billboard along I-5 in Fife, just by the bend after Federal Way? I have seen this billboard for the last month, but was only able to stop and take pictures yesterday (this may be old news already!). I did know this—I drove by the billboard (really a giant electronic reader board) on my...

Besides, he has a point. It would be a change.

It's gross and it has gotta be a waste of money for whoever put it there. I doubt they'll win any converts here period let alone with a billboard. I think it has a solid blue background and it just says real big something along the lines of "When you go to vote this November, remember September 11, 2001." Fuckin' fear mongers

An ad hitting him on that connection might do some serious damage right about now....

"Republican GOP candidate for WA governor Rossi endorses Democratic presidential hopeful Obama. Obama campaign endorses Gov GREGOIRE!"

How about a governor Tim Eyman? That would be a change. Seattle mayor Blayne from Project Runway? More change! Secretary of State George W. Bush - that's a job change right? Let's replace the Supreme Court with some folks from the Discovery Institute. We want change! Change change change dur!!

Gregoire is for progressive change - changing laws and providing judges for gay marriage and civil rights, more transit funding, environmentally aware policies, keeping regressive ideas like abstinence-only education and creationism out of our schools, etc.

Rossi's "change" means "let's change into Idaho."

How dare they put up a message on an electronic sign that might be seen by people on their way to cheer for Mr Biden? Don't they know that liberals are entitled to ALL the electronic media, all the time? This has got to be some sort of invasion of privacy. In fact, just looking at it is making me upset.

There's also this annoying delivery truck covered in almost incomprehensible quotes and graphs, with what i assume are ostriches hiding their heads in the sand on the back, but which actually looks like some sort of flounder species, and big DINO ROSSI ads on the side. Just sitting there on public street parking, in Georgetown at 6th and Orcas St, just waiting for someone to share their feelings...

Just sayin, is all...

sincerely,

"Is Dinosor." An anagram for "Chris Gregore" is "Richer Soggier."
