The podcast begins in the WA-08 congressional district, where some journalists and a lot of Republicans don’t seem to understand academic degrees and terminology. A Harvard graduate clears matters up. From degrees to convictions…the panel scrutinizes Rep. Dave Reichert’s illegal campaign loan. Next they examine “G.O.P. Party” candidate Dino Rossi’s deposition over campaign finance law violations. (Oh…that sound you hear? It’s the gnashing of Republican teeth across the state). After a brief sojourn into presidential politics, the panel revisits the strange case of Alaska’s Uncle Ted Stevens seven traffic tickets felony convictions. The podcast closes with panelist’s predictions for the WA-08 and the gubernatorial races.
Goldy was joined by Matt Stoller of OpenLeft, Seattle P-I columnist Joel Connelly, Publisher of the Group News Blog, Jesse Wendel, and initiative specialist Laura McClintock of McClintock Consulting.

Thanks for bringing Matt Stoller into these podcasts. He’s working for Darcy right now?
Wow do things get volatile!!
Steve–
Ummmmmm, I hate to break this to you but only about a dozen regulars post on this Blog:
Conservatives—Cynical & Puddy
Lefty’s—Rog, YLB rhp, GBS, proud leftist Daddy Love
Lunatic’s–Steve (you), Rujax, ivan
That’s 11.
Another heartbreaker for you…
No one rushes home from work to log into HorseAss.org to see what you have to say about goatfucking.
Yet another heartbreaker–
No one has ever changed their vote due to comments on HorseAss.org.
Goldy has worked hard & sacrificed to build this Blog. I disagree with his ideology..but I admire his tenacity and respect his opinion.
Same goes for Darryl, Josh & John.
I sure they have hundreds of regulars who read the thread…period.
They do not care what commenters have to say.
Goldy is their news filter. Folks are busy. If they are on the Left…I can understand that.
Same is true for Stefan, Eric, Jim et al @ Sound Politics.
So Steve…I hate to break this to ya, but NO ONE gets paid to post on HorsesAss.org.
I’ve enjoyed the banter back & forth with many of you.
It’s a natural tendency to yell past each other.
But what it often comes down to is our ideas on the role, size, cost and who pays for government at all levels.
That’s the most common denominator on most issues, don’t you think?
And most of us want less costly, less instrusive government at some or many levels.
Perspective Steve is something you lack as do many of the fringe lunatic lefty’s like you. Good luck with you anger & fantasy!
Mr. Cynical is a stupid fascist who fucks goats.
2 – LMAO!!! Are you’re cuttin’ and runnin’ Cynical? You don’t have to pay attention to Steve. You could just go on cutting and pasting talking points until the bitter end. You don’t have to take anything anyone says here personally.
I don’t blame you. You’ve come back here twice to say, “mea culpa, after all my name-calling and copy/paste of BIAW/RNC talking points, at the end of the day I’m Mr. Irrelevant”
You weren’t here for 2006.
And you couldn’t hold out for 2008.
Wow! Throwing in the towel this early. I’m disappointed.
@4 “You don’t have to pay attention to Steve.”
The fact that he not only pays attention but completely overreacts is quite telling. He obviously fucks goats.
Hmm, he labeled you a “lefty” and not a “lunatic”. Faint praise, I suppose, coming as it does from one of the RNC/BIAW’s goatfucking, PIN-HEADED KLOWNS.
5 – Oh I agree. You definitely got under his skin a bit.
