State budgets have come out in the House and Senate, and the word “brutal” comes to mind. Goldy wants an income tax. Does that make him crazy? Are there good alternatives in the face of a state revenue collapse? Will someone show leadership on the issue? And how long will it take voters to warm-up to the idea?
Wait…wasn’t that Mike!™ McGavick’s shtick? Senators Murray and Cantwell vote to slash the estate tax. What the hell were they thinking? Same-sex marriage Marriage equality gets a huge boost with a ruling in Iowa, and votes in Vermont and Washington D.C. How long will it take here in Washington state? Finally, the panel peeks at the rave reviews from the Barack Obama World Tour.
Goldy was joined by Seattlepi.com’s Joel Connelly, Peace Tree Farm’s N in Seattle, Effin’ Unsound’s & Horsesass’s Carl Ballard, and Executive Director of the Northwest Progressive Institute Andrew Villeneuve

Mr. Cynical spews:
It’s time Joe Biden stop lying!
The man lives in a fantasy world where he really thinks things that he thought..he actually did. No evidence of his alleged time alone with Bush. Biden is a serial exagerator!!

Darryl spews:
Wait…Biden is a “liar” because Karl Rove says so?
That’s fucking hilarious, Cynical!
Mr. Cynical spews:
Not just Rove you fool..other staffers as well.
Biden is lying and you know it.
Why would Bush have all these private moments with Joe Biden??
It’s unreasonable.
Plus, Biden has exagerated about being shot at in Iraq, having his helicopter forced down by gunfire when it was really forced down by weather (Per John Kerry!!)
Biden is a serial liar Darryl.
Plus his daughter is a coke-snorter!
Darryl spews:
Mr. Cynical,
“Not just Rove you fool..other staffers as well.
Oh…big fucking surprise. The whole pack of Bush-co liars sez itz so!
Look Cynical…stop being a fucking moron… No one of Bush’s staffers can categorically deny a conversation between Bush and Biden. Only Bush can do that. The fact that the whole pack-o-fibbers sez so, just highlights the fact that they are part of (ANOTHER) coordinated lie.
“Biden is lying and you know it.”
Hmmm….given the choice of Biden or Rove lying? Not even close. Rove is a professional liar.
“Why would Bush have all these private moments with Joe Biden??”
Why wouldn’t he? The man was a Senior Senator, dumbass!
“It’s unreasonable.”
How?
“Plus, Biden has exagerated about being shot at in Iraq, having his helicopter forced down by gunfire when it was really forced down by weather (Per John Kerry!!)”
That shit still makes him a rank amateur compared to Turd Blossom the pro.
“Biden is a serial liar Darryl.”
Again…because KARL ROVE says so? Your funny, Cynical…fucking retarded…but funny!
“Plus his daughter is a coke-snorter!”
You mean like Dubya, right?
Mr. Cynical spews:
Darryl–
No, I mean like Obama!
Darryl spews:
Mr. Cynical,
“No, I mean like Obama!”
Ahh…I see. You mean NOT at Camp David.
Or did you mean without “choking” on a “pretzel” afterward?
