Speaking of Sen. Margarita Prentice, D-Renton, why isn’t there a stink about the apparent purging of state Sen. Craig Pridemore, D-Vancouver, from Ways and Means?
Something smells there. We are facing the mother of all budget crises, and the Democrats in the Senate waste a guy whose professional expertise is budget analysis, seemingly to appease a senior member who felt threatened. Not a smart move.
i THINK pRNTICE JUST GOT RE ELECETED BY A HUGE MARGIN — AND IS A VERY SENIOR MEMBER — SO, SHE CAN PICK AND CHOOSE, i THINK
re 1: That’s the same reason a dog licks his balls. Anything more you’d like to tell us about her?
For Gregoire & the Washington State Democratic Party establishment, Budgeting is an ART not a SCIENCE.
Perhaps Pridemore is a Scientist!
Team Gregoire likes Artists who can tell you whatever you want to here….not the cold, hard facts.
Sounds like hurt feelings in Clark County.
For a Republican to be sanctimonous about “budgeting” in this day and age is the height of absurdity.
LUCY – MY DOG SHITS IN ONE CORNER – WHAT ABOUT YOU?
yOU ARE REALLY CRASS, LOVE THAT IN A BITCH.
DID YOU FORGET LEGISLAOTRS ARE ALL ELECTED?
THEREIN THEY DERIVE THEIR POWER TO ACT —OH, SSORRY SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO CALL YOU AND ASK IF SHE CANNNNN …
TAKE YOUR MEDS
You wouldn’t want a professional budget type in the mix when politics are involved….he might dare to inject fiscal responsibility into the process.
This is likely a response to Pridemore’s ill-fated phone calls in search of potential support to replace Sen. Margarita Prentice as chairwoman.
Maybe its not a smart move, but its utterly predictable considering he was working to replace Prentice.
Office politics 101: Don’t work to undermine the person above you unless you’re 100% sure you will succeed.
@8 “Don’t work to undermine the person above you unless you’re 100% sure you will succeed.”
Yeah, that was figured out back in the days when people who tried to overthrow kings ended up one of two ways: King themselves, or dead.
Nothing complicated here. The rule is, if you go after the king or queen, better have two bullets. The second is for yourself, if you miss with the first.
