Needling the needle

by Goldy — Tuesday, 10/12/10, 11:37 am

Several readers have now emailed or commented about my “Dino Rossi Did Not Write the 2003-2005 Budget” Slog post, suggesting that I submit Rossi’s false budget-writing claim to the Seattle Times Truth Needle for further fact-checking. But that would be immodest.

That said, I wouldn’t be opposed to other folks submitting it themselves.

    I’ve told my world-wide followers and fans in the past to ask yourself what Goldy ISN’T talking about. What is he trying to distract you from. This is now more important than ever! Quickly scan through Goldy’s recent post headlines … Rove. Rossi. GOP. Reichert. Rossi. Reichert. Rossi.

    Goldy is in FULL DISTRACTION MODE!

    So pay attention. Don’t read his posts. Follow the news. Pay attention to the unemployment, debt, and deficit numbers. These are the truly important issues that Goldy is trying to distract you from.

    re 1:

    That’s like trying to blame FDR for the Great Depression. The further north you get from the Mason Dixon Line, the harder it will be to find people who will believe your spiel.

    How about we pay attention to: Dino Rossi wants young women to be forced to give birth to the child of their rapist or incestuous relative?

    Plus, of course, that Dino ROssi couldn’t write a budget if you duct-taped his hands to a pen. Gary Locke was and is a tireless policy wonk who LOVES budget-writing, and Dino Rossi is a typical lazy, crooked, opportunistic Republican “stealth” (though not this election–he went full teabag) candidate.

    DOn’t forget to pay attention to the facts that the budget deficit went DOWN this year from Bush’s last fiscal year, and that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) reduces the budget deficit by over a TRILLION dollars over the next twenty years. We should definitely pay attention to those facts.

    “Truth” Needle? They said Murray “wrongly depicted” Rossi’s answer about the Airbus subsidies, when it was actually Rossi who “wrongly depicted” his own answer, then amended it with two mulligans over a few days to basically: “What Patty said”.
