Ohmigod, I love the General (… in a manly, heterosexual way, of course.) Take a look at this new campaign poster for David Irons Jr….
Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
You scumbag Goldy….
How much Did simms pay you?
That is plain Sick…..
What has this world come to. I will pray for your sick, pathetic souls….
Didn’t your parents teach you right from wrong?
Oh Shit…now I’m scared!!!
OK…OK…OK…I’ll VOTE for the SOB.
{That is soooo great…if my hero, prr, was on our side he’d like it too. It’s, you know…HIS kind of piece. Except the spelling’s better)
prr @1,
The only thing Rons Sims ever gave me was a hug. But then, he seems to hug everybody. He’s a huggy guy.
And I must say, I find your mock outrage amusing. All I did was report the story that Irons’ own parents wanted to tell, and according to his mother, I told it accurately.
Is it a negative story? Sure. Did I time its release to cause maximum damage? Yeah… but then, I didn’t have the story two weeks ago.
And finally, for Republicans to accuse Democrats of being scummy is downright comical. This from the party of Karl Rove… the party that swiftboated John Kerry, that branded as unpatriotic a man like Max Clelland, who left his limbs in Viet Nam… the party that spread vicious, racist lies about John McCain during the 2000 primaries. A party that leaks the identity of a CIA operative, as political payback.
And what about Irons himself? He orchestrated a leak the night before absentees dropped in the mail, that there had been an FBI investigation of his opponent… an investigation that had been closed with no indictment and no report. This is a man who eyewitnesses saw personally stealing his opponents yard signs.
What you can’t stand about me is that I’m not one of those pussy progressives who quietly stands on my princples and policies, while the other side bashes our heads in. I dish back.
As I closed my piece on Irons, “what goes around, comes around.” Irons got what he deserved.
Give me a break,
You bought and paid for, Political Hack.
All Goldy did was report what Iron’s mother told him. If his sister’s version is to be believed, one would have to ask why medical assistance was not called. If my mother had some seizure and hit the floor, I sure would have been on the phone with 911. That alone would be horrible judgement on Irons part.
Furthermore Goldy was honest in his political motives and timing. Goldy does not exactly hide the fact that he is a LIBERAL. The only thing I disagree with Goldy on is that I think it would have had a greater negative voter impact on Iron’s if it had been told earlier.
prr @5,
Anybody who was privy to my personal finances would laugh at your assertion. My beer money donations barely pay my monthly bank fee, and nobody else has ever offered me a red cent.
Goldy,
So let me get the straight, when Ronny gets re-elected and suddenly you are given a consulting job, or he pushed his political weight and gets you a column, radio show, tv show, etc…. you are gonna turn him down so you can run this blog, correct?
Really….
So when Ron suddenly starts bullying people to give you a column, radio show, etc… or offering you a consulting gig, your gonna turn them down, right?
horse whisperer: one would have to ask why medical assistance was not called
I am not a diabetic althought it seems reasonable that most siezures are handled with medicine or sugar ingestion. I do not think there are enough paramedics in WA to respond to those types of calls.
On the other hand, if an assault took place why were the police not called? The phone was ripped out of the wall? How about later in the day at another phone? How about the next day, the next week?
Sounds more like sour apples on both sides. Based on what is being said on both sides it looks more likely that Goldy will swing voters towards Irons. Poetic justice for a tabloid.
Goldy,
Your link to the “poster” is childish at best, sick at worst. Then again, the Left is always sketching devil horns onto the photos of anyone they disagree with. Even worse is that the “poster” doesn’t even reflect an allegation made.
As for your post @ 7, is that an invitation for people to dig into your family and your past? After all, you have made a conscious effort to become a pseudo-quasi-celebrity and you even brag about your audience. Are you and your motives beyond examination?
Why not offer a defense of your candidate instead of bashing the messenger? A little domestic violence is no big deal, right? Can’t let that stand in the way of paving over the rural area. The almighty dollar must be worshipped, and no battered mother is going to stand in your way.
BIAW is going to be MAD if you guys fuck this up.
Dang prr…they might quit paying YOU to post here. Ouch!
I find it interesting that KVI is being warned that they maybe hitting their limit on what they can say about I-912, but this blog continues to be non-stop campaigning for Sims. You can’t claim that you aren’t attached to the Sims campaign and receive no funds. The judge declared that irrelevant, as did you, in the case of KVI.
For the record, the story on Irons was pure slime. Asking his mother about a controversial situation, and making absolutely no effort to get any other side of the story, is not reporting. Why didn’t MSM publish it? They couldn’t verify it. Too bad your standards are so much lower.
Rujax
Ii’ll discuss the matter with my Dad this weekend. You do they same, ooops, you’ve outlawed prayer, so that is out.
Felix @ 11: “Why not offer a defense of your candidate instead of bashing the messenger?”
The same could be said for your side. Goldy sure seems (or at least seemed) to waste a lot of digital ink on tearing down Sharkansky. You guys still avoid any questions about the improprieties at King County by saying they’re irrelevant. Anything bad that happened at King County was under Ron Sims’ watch. Why doesn’t the buck stop there?
As for defending Irons… I don’t know the guy. If you read my posts, you’ll see that I’m only asking questions of Goldy. If he wants to play
Edward R. MurrowGeraldo Rivera for a day, he writings should be up to journalistic standards.Janet…”You ignorant slut”-
“It’s in the P-I!”
rujax @ 18: “It’s in the P-I!”
Actually, the story ABOUT the story is in the P-I.
TMR-
Ouuuuuuuch…can’t fool you “journo’s” can I?
rujax @ 20
1. There IS a difference between an editor deciding that the controversy is news vs. whether the actual allegations are newsworthy or supported by sufficient evidence (in which case, they would have pursued the story on their own).
2. FORMER “journo,” thankyouverymuch. And I got out of it because the pay isn’t the best and I didn’t have an ax to grind to make up for the difference in income.
3. No need for an “ouuuuuch.” I was just clarifying that the P-I coverage doesn’t imply more weight to the issue. Just scandal.
10.)BS any reasonable person would be at the minimum on the phone to either 911 or medical professional if a person hit the floor from siezure. Sure my Mother’s on the floor with a siezure so just wait 15-20 minutes and see if she gets up. No point bothering the 911 guys needlessly! Why not stop down at the local fire department and ask them what the hell they would recommend if a person was on the floor with a siezure!
My guess is that his mother is probably telling the truth. The right wing has such great ways to always blame the victims. This joker ought to team up with OLE Brownie for truly compassion-less incompetance!
Fair enough, Mark … I would argue that folks on my side HAVE addressed Sims’ shortcomings. No one likes the mistakes in the elections office, but the judge in Wenatchee found them to have no relevance to the outcome of last year’s election. Furthermore, there are mountains of evidence pointing out that the problems in KC Elections are not unique at all – in fact they are very typical – so perhaps you can see why folks like me think the continuing complaints are grandstanding and beating a dead horse.
This is not to say folks like me don’t want problems fixed – I am all in favor – but I smell an alterior motive in all this whining.
Sims has done quite an excellent job managing KC overall, as the big money managers back east have determined. Plus, he isn’t aligned with the folks who’d pave over Puget Sound if they could make a buck.
If Momma irons was so afraid of sonny boy, why didn’t she have him arrested? Why no restraining order? Why no domestic abuse protection order? Why didn’t she sue him for her injuries?
Yea, yea he’s her son and she “loves him”. Right, but a situation out of control calls for tough love and having him arrested would fit that bill now wouldn’t it?
Of course, ugly exaggerations of what went on between Mother and Son in the privacy of a closed room would fit a few purposes too, wouldn’t it golden weasel?
David Irons on Dori Monson, right now.
Who the hell is Dori Monson? A radio guy? What station?
horse whisperer-22 ‘My guess is that his mother is probably telling the truth.’
Key words – “guess” and “probably”.
‘The right wing has such great ways to always blame the victims.’
I am thinking Paula Jones, Ms. Broderick, Kathleen Willy, etc.
‘..any reasonable person would be at the minimum on the phone to either 911 or medical professional if a person hit the floor from siezure.’
Again, I am not a medical expert, but I do think that there are many siezures experienced by diabetics that can be handled by the diabetic with medication or sugar ingestion. What about mom’s call to 911 for the assault?
Try this:
http://www.cpr-pro.com/fa_medical_conditions.html
“First aid for a seizure or convulsion
1. ESM, scene survey. Make area safe, clear away hard or sharp objects.
2. During convulsions:
• Don’t restrict the casualty’s movements rather guide them to protect them from injury.
• Loosen tight clothing
• Place something soft under the head
• Do not try to put anything in the mouth
3. After convulsions
• Assess responsiveness and do a primary survey. Recovery position of they are unconscious, wipe away any fluids
• Secondary survey and give first aid for any injuries
• Continue to give care, warm, resting time
• Do not give casualty any liquids
• Get medical help if needed – use judgment and casualty’s discretion”
Note the last line.
As mom is still alive then it appears the correct treatment was administered.
Yeah, sorry. Dori’s on KIRO, 710 am, Seattle. Also available online at http://www.kiro710.com
So yearwrong @ 26, did Irons do any of those things? NO!
He hasn’t had the time to make up a lie about that yet.
Just admit it. Irons is a creep.
So now it’s Rom Sims fault that David Irons hit his Mom.
Well that’s what DORI said!

Interesting link. Too bad it is referring to a non-diabetic condition, as does the Right below it is “Fist Aid for fever emergencies” list below it. ABOVE your reference you’ll find what WE would be looking for:
First aid for Diabetic emergency
1. ESM, scene survey, if casualty is unresponsive get medial help asap.
2. Primary survey and give first aid for the ABC’s
3. If unconscious, place them into the recovery position and monitor the ABC’s until help arrives. If they are conscious ask what is wrong. They may be able to tell you. If they can tell you help them do or take what is needed and if they are confused give them something to eat or drink in a small quantity, i.e. apple juice, candy, etc. Be careful about giving someone orange juice unless it is pulp free or candy that has peanuts in it as some individuals are allergic to pulp or peanuts.
4. Continue to give care until help arrives.
And they’re not the only ones to think so:
Severe signs and symptoms, such as unconsciousness or seizures, are a medical emergency. Call 911 for an ambulance immediately.
– Bystanders should not attempt to drive the person to the hospital by car because this may seriously delay proper care, which emergency medical personnel in the ambulance can provide.
– Signs and symptoms that continue despite eating are another indication for seeking emergency care at a hospital.
Touche’?

Hello.
I had to come one and say this. Goldy, you did NOT help Sims when you went on the Dori Monson show. I found it sad you were able to give straight concise answers on everything….except for one question. The way you hemmed and hawwed when Dori asked you point blank if you told the Sims campaign about this before you published your blog, and then gave a ‘sorta-answer’ to try and defuse it. The way you reacted to that answer made you come across as one of SIms lackeys, playing dirty so he doesn’t have to. Face it, Goldy, you got played by that interview. I just hope Sims will still love you after your mistake.
Domo.
Hmmm. The apologists are lining up. Could never imagine that one of their own could be capable of such a thing.
1) Irons probably did do the deed. The victim according to her own account fled and hid from the perp. Phone torn off the wall precluded calling for help.
2) After fleeing the scene and thinking a bit, the victim made sure to avoid being alone with the perp. Bringing it out into the open at first meant embarrassment to the family. The perp was after all the victim’s son. He might be remorseful and willing to “change his ways”. Ill thought-out excuses like a “diabetic” episode is consistent with a desire to keep the embarrassing event “under wraps” or protect other members of the family from the fallout of a harsh truth.
3) The last straw was the perp turning viciously on a family friend and hitching his political star to a crowd antagonistic to the family’s values.
The pattern is clear. A volatile temperament together with resume inflation and other factors disqualify David Irons, Jr. from serving as King County Executive.
ProudASS
“If Momma irons was so afraid of sonny boy, why didn’t she have him arrested? Why no restraining order? Why no domestic abuse protection order? Why didn’t she sue him for her injuries?”
Ummm … this is one of the most idiotic arguments I have seen around here.
Unreported domestic violence is exceedingly difficult to study for obvious reasons (it goes unreported). An estimate by the FBI is that only 1 in 10 sexual assualts is reported.
The prevalence of reporting in domestic violence unlikely to be higher than this figure, and probably much lower.
Man, you troll assholes will make up any sorry excuse for your boy with the anger management problem!
Dear “Never Really was a Democrat”-
Goldy did just fine. That righty-hack Monson backed waaaay off from when he had the mom-beater on.
I would guess that since “blame the victim” is not gonna get any traction…”the Ronnie made me do it” is the next play out of the book.
Good Luck…you’re gonna run out of lipstick before you run out of pig.
Dori Monson aka “Dorky Moron” has employed his well-worn tactic of attacking the messenger.
The message is clear: David Irons Jr. is unfit for office and would be a disaster for King County.
Ron Simms has demonstrated his fitness by leading King County through difficult economic times. King County has a AAA credit rating attesting to Simms’ effectiveness.
The Republicans must do much better than David Irons Jr.
FTC @ 35
“The pattern is clear. A volatile temperament together with resume inflation and other factors disqualify David Irons, Jr. from serving as King County Executive. “
Indeed. There are two big issues that are at play here.
1. Does David Jr. have problems with “honesty.” Prior to Goldy’s piece, David Sr. has publically questioned Jr.’s honesty. Other pieces of evidence like the exagerations on his resume, statements questioning his veracity by acquaintances, possibly the police-report incident (although that may genuinely be a misunderstanding among family members), and witnesses to him taking signs, all point to a general pattern of a person who has (or had) issues with honesty. It seems unlikely that ALL of these are false.
2. Is David Jr. abusive to those subordinate or weaker than him? Based on his mother’s claims and statements of being abusive and explosive by former peers or staff, it seems that David Jr. may have (or at one time had) an anger problem that makes it difficult for him to manage power-relationships. Again, there are many cooroborating reports here.
If either of these are true, I think you are correct, and David Jr. would not be qualified to be King County executive.
yearight-
Your line of reasoning would have made you the perfect sidekick for Brownie in New Orleans. Hell, go have a nice meal in a nice restuarant and see how the poor victim is after dinner, perhaps even with a bottle of wine. No point in making one of those pesty 911 calls for nothing. With the phone ripped out his poor Mom didn’t have that luxury. Also neat idea to look medical emergencies up online while the victim lays there.
The mantra should be: Strike Irons.
Boy oh boy are you rethugs a bunch of wimps. Slime slime slime is all we hear from your candidates, and you cry like a bunch of little girls when you taste your own medicine.
What a bunch of pussies (I’m talkin to YOU prr!)
This thread reminds me a lot of the Clinton ‘bimbo eruptions’ in that the Republicans automatically believed the stories from these gals (becuase they KNEW Clinton was evil) and the Dems went into attack the victim mode, without waiting to see if there was anything to these ‘eruptions’.
Again, you have a unverifiable accounts which wouldn’t see the light of day in any respectable newspaper, and that’s no slam against anybody, it’s just a plain fact.
Actually, all this reminds me of a post Goldy made about SP awhile ago…
“…And that is one of the dangers of the blogosphere… it takes our already fragmented media to the next level, where consumers can pick and choose their sources, issue by issue, so that they only get the news they want to hear. That may be comforting, but it doesn’t make for an informed electorate.”
Jon,
“Again, you have a unverifiable accounts which wouldn’t see the light of day in any respectable newspaper, and that’s no slam against anybody, it’s just a plain fact.”
Not quite, slick. In fact, the media has carried these stories in the past. The difference is that there was a smaller audience because Irons was running for a different office.
horse whisperer-39 ‘No point in making one of those pesty 911 calls for nothing. With the phone ripped out his poor Mom didn’t have that luxury.’
Way to avoid the real question – if mom would have called 911, why no calls later in the day, the next day, the next week, the next month? No calls by anyone at any time? That takes a real sucker to fall for Goldy’s trap.
No, the whole story is fishy, regardless of which side you want to make excuses for. The left however, cannot resist the tabloid angle if it helps Sims. Talk about making excuses.
Why all this crap from the righty trolls about why Iron’s mother didn’t report the attack.
Typical right-wing ploy to attack the victim, make the victims responsible. Only 1 out of 4 rapes get reported, does that make the attack any less brutal or real because they weren’t reported?
Many, many more cases of domestic abuse go unreported than reported. It crosses all lines, political, racial, social, and economical. No one is immune or prone to it.
So stop blaming David’s mother for NOT reporting. Blame David Irons for committing domestic abuse.
The culture of corruption is coming down next Wednesday.
Thank you, Mr. Fitzpatrick.
This will effect all Rethuglicans, even those who beat the crap out of their mothers.
Curtis Love-31 ‘Too bad it is referring to a non-diabetic condition’
I think the whole page refers to categories under “diabetic emergency”. The whole thread related to the siezure is speculation. I was noting that many diabetic “emergencies” are treated by the person with no need for paramedics, etc. In answer to why no call to 911 for the paramedics, and no scrutiny about no call regarding the assault.
The lefties here have highly focused tunnel-vision, and this whole topic brings it all bubbling to the surface.
I actually do not have an axe to grind as I am not in KC. It is just so fun to observe the mouth-foaming and desperate tactics when someone like Sims is against the wall. Some minor target practice by a lowly righty brings out even more despicble comments than pushed originally by Goldy. Thanks for playing.
I have to admit, Irons is a pretty pathetic character
yearight,
“why no calls later in the day, the next day, the next week, the next month? No calls by anyone at any time? That takes a real sucker to fall for Goldy’s trap.”
I’ll repeat what I wrote above.

dj-48 ‘Unreported domestic violence is exceedingly difficult to study for obvious reasons (it goes unreported). An estimate by the FBI is that only 1 in 10 sexual assualts is reported.’
This event was neither sexual or unreported. Does it not seem curious that the reporting only comes in the media when politics are involved? Not even a restraining order?
Again, using the criteria put forth here by Goldy and the HA “team” the lefties have been worshipping at the alter of a serial rapist since 1992. And the next idol in line is married to him.

Get with it GS. To ensure your vote is counted be sure to also vote provisional down at the courthouse. There is a very good chance that one or both votes will be counted.
dj-48 ‘Man, you troll assholes will make up any sorry excuse for your boy with the anger management problem!’
Two words – Bill Clinton. Or is rape not a violent crime anymore?
dj @ 43: Then please explain the following from Goldy:
“And to my friends in the media, who have thus far failed to cover this story, I ask you this: how is it possibly responsible journalism to tell the amusing tale of a candidate whose own mother won’t vote for him… yet refuse to attempt to explain to voters the reasons why?”
That this family doesn’t get along has been covered; the reason why hasn’t.
You just have to wonder. What on earth could a son possibly do to make his mother so mad that she would make this stuff up? I am sure turning on a friend politically isn’t going to do it. My mother in law would protect Charlie Manson if that were her son.
Be real folks….why would she do this, unless the Garage Mechanic with the fake resume really was a POS.
Thanks yearight, but I took care of that, I am working at the polls this year. Soooo my vote(s) will definately be counted! 1 time you dummy, 2 times me dummy!
Jon @ 52,
Then please explain the following from Goldy: “And to my friends in the media, who have thus far failed to cover this story…”‘
Nope the reason surfaced in the press in 2003 and also during the 1999 Irons campaign. Additionally, Janet Irons (the mother) was on talk radio in the past giving this story.
While I don’t want to put words into Goldy’s mouth, I suspect he is wondering why the press isn’t covering the details NOW, while Irons is running for a much bigger office.
The party of KKK and the chief rapist is going to shame us about Irons and family value. Yeah um sure.
GOLDY!
You have got to put a stop to the moron @ 56 who keeps fake posting as me. Block his/her IP if you have to. S/he wanted the plain “Mark” tag — fine. Now it is just copying whatever I write. You wouldn’t tolerate if I went and fake-posted as rujax, Donna or Roger Rabbit… or you. PUT AN F’IN STOP TO THIS!
As I closed my piece on Irons, “what goes around, comes around.” Irons got what he deserved.
Remember those words, Goldy. Your turn is comin’.
Hey FAKE MARK posting as The Real Mark.
Knock it off. Goldy has, in the past, said that you DO NOT post as another user. That is, like, the ONLY rule around here.
Look, FAKE MARK, I am politically on the same side as you. But, I want to know who I am reading, and the real Mark has been around here for a long time (and is, quite frankly, not too bad as righties go).
I will join the real Mark in asking Goldy to ban you if ya don’t knock it off!

Jon @ 62
“That this family doesn’t get along has been covered; the reason why hasn’t.”
Yes, it has.
dj @ 71
I don’t think we know the whole story. Irons doesn’t just leap out of the frying pan in 1994. Something was either festering or there was a pre-existing dynamic. If you steal someone’s girlfriend in January and they punch you in the nose in March, you can’t start the story in March and say you’ve got the whole picture.
Having personally known a couple of people from homes with child abuse, it sure sounds awfully familiar. Adult (dad, mom, uncle?) hurts kid, kid tries to tell, kid isn’t believed by all (or others in denial), family polarizes over issue, part of family becomes very angry over allegations and blame for family problems shifted onto kid.
dj-57 ‘READ MY WHOLE POST..’
Did that. The only statistic you mentioned was for sexual assaults, which is quite different from the current topic. The rest was speculation. And, this event was NOT unreported after there was a political reason to do so.
The lefties here continue to try for new lows. Good luck.
yearight @ 73
I see…you just didn’t understand the point I was making. I’ll try to explain it here.
Only about 10% of sexual assualts are reported. I am suggesting that the prevalence of reporting in DOMESTIC VIOLENCE cases is probably somewhat lower.
Many sexual assualts can have consequences like pregnancy, HIV, or other STD transmission. Furthermore, some sexual assualts do not involve family members and friends. Both factors would increase the prevalence of reporting sexual assault versus domestic violence. Therefore, I am pretty confident in inferring withoug direct evidence that sexual assaults probably have a somewhat higher prevalence of being reported than cases of domestic violence.
In other words, when David Jr. assaulted his mother (as she claims) the a priori chance of the assault being reported was probably under 10%.
There are probably statistics on the prevalence of reporting domentic voilence somewhere, but after a brief search I came up empty handed.
That was my point. Cries that if Irons had assaulted his mother she would have reported it are preposterous.
Many sexual assualts can have consequences like pregnancy, HIV, or other STD transmission. Furthermore, some sexual assualts do not involve family members and friends.
Hey dj are you talking about Clinton again? Sure sound like it.
RUFUS @ 75
“Hey dj are you talking about Clinton again? Sure sound like it.”
Naaaaa … I was talking ’bout your buddy West.
Get tested, dude!
My fault.. it is just when you said “some sexual assualts do not involve family members and friends” you were referring to the former rapist and chief. You donks have to be more specific when you talk about sexual assualts.
RUFUS @ 77
“it is just when you said “some sexual assualts do not involve family members and friends” you were referring to the former rapist and chief.”
Someone raping family and friends, RUFUS? Sounds like you must be refering to Lou Beres (former Multnomah County GOP chair, and executive director of the Christian Coalition of Oregon).
“You donks have to be more specific when you talk about sexual assualts.”
Donks? Wouldn’t I have to be a Democrat to qualify for that title?
