For those of you who, like me, have kind of missed having Dino in the spotlight these last few months, The Stranger‘s Paul Constant informs us that the former Republican gubernatorial standard-bearer will be bellying up to the table for the International District Spring Roll 2009 spring roll-eating competition this April.
His competition? King County executive candidate Dow Constantine!
In addition to Constantine, who represents the district, Rossi will chow down against Constant, former Husky football star Brock Huard, and a few other local quasi-dignitaries.
To the credit of all involved in potentially embarrassing themselves on stage, proceeds from the event, where tickets start at $90, go to Seattle Chinatown Internaional District community development programs.
Who’s Dino Rossi?
P.S., TWO-TERM GOVERNOR Christine Gregoire hinted this week she plans to run for a third term.
Looks like King County Assessor Scott Noble may be in trouble for drunk driving and vehicular assault.

Might make an interesting election season, if Noble resigns under pressure or loses his office due to a felony conviction. Wonder if a felony conviction would cost Noble his Navy pension?
Since all King County Charter offices are now officially nonpartisan, the King County Council would get to appoint this possible vacancy, as well as the impending Executive vacancy, with whomever it pleases, without having to pick from a Top Three list from King County’s Democratic PCO’s.
Missed? Hardly…
I give Dino credit when he Lossied (again) for actually seeming relieved that he didn’t have to play the mean spirited bastard anymore.
He called Chris Gregoire by her name! He called her Governor!
Nice performance.
Where are they now??
Sean kemp is in whittier hanging with the octomom.
@4 Marvin Idiot is sitting on the loo pecking at his mom’s notebook computer.
Dino Rossi will lose whatever contest he enters.
I couldn’t stand watching him talk, why would I want to watch him eat?
Even now Dino is sending his gang of thugs to bribe the judges and the cooks so he can have a fighting chance. Crook.
