Rossi wins one-week delay in subpoena decision

by Goldy — Thursday, 10/16/08, 8:58 am

What is Dino Rossi trying to hide from voters?  Well, we likely won’t know until after the election, as a King County Superior Court judge has delayed her decision until next week on whether to quash a subpoena to depose Rossi about his involvement in the growing Buildergate scandal.

And while the Rossi camp can be audibly heard sighing in relief, our state’s editorialists, usually champions of sunlight and open government, continue to yawn, apparently unconcerned about Rossi’s role in what is without a doubt the most blatant and egregious violation of our campaign finance laws in our state’s history.  Un-fucking believable.

    Goldy–
    Everyone knows this is a last-ditch desperation hatchet-job by 2 Gregoire surrogates…2 ex-Supreme Court Justices that contributed to her campaigns!

    You seem soooooooo distraught that newspapers won’t play fast & loose..like Bloggers!

    Gregoire is like the little girl who cried wolf waay too many times. Repeated lawsuits by Gregoire surrogates trying to cast last minute aspersions against Rossi is unsettling…even for Liberals.

    Maybe the journalists yawn because this really isn’t that exciting or important.

    Not concerned that someone may have broken election laws in a big way?

    I guess there is NO urgency when someone is cheating to catch them before the dirty deed can be accomplished.

    Yup, yawn, another republican cheat. I guess it is so commonplace that we fail to even react anymore….

    The president didn’t want an investigation into the 9/11 attacks, and the press yawned.

    The president and his clown posse lied about weapons of mass destruction, and the press yawned.

    The president and his clown posse started an unprovoked, “preemptive” war, and the press yawned.

    The president and his clown possee approved and implemented a program of torture of US held prisoners, and the press yawned.

    The president has circumvented the constitution with signing statements, and the press yawned.

    So unless Dino is sleeping with Paris Hilton, or was the father of Nicole Simpson’s baby, the press will keep yawning.

    I think 6 has it correct. The press only cares about idiotic things, mostly because that is what the majority of people are wanting to read whether they admit it or not.

    He couldn’t win it fair and square last time, now he and our very own John Birchers are trying to steal this election. Rossi belongs in jail (after a trial, due process etc etc).

    Mr Cynical is even more cynical now that the BIAW is trying to steal this election outright. Isn’t that right, Mr. Cynical? Do you think elections should go to whoever can make the biggest media buy of smears? Now I know why you’re ‘cynical.’

    Rossi is not hiding anything. If the shyster lawyer Clowney wants him deposed, he can wait a month. After all, Clowney is a paid stooge for the 2 fucking retired hacks from the State Suptreme Court. It figures they’d hire a moron, seeing as how they are fools too.

    in a word…apathy

    If it were to be expected Rossi would get some actual jail time, there would be at least a flair of interest. But, he will snake/slime his way out of this, as he has as a realtor, and there will still be people that think he is as godly as a Bush mini-me.

    The whole thing smells like it would if you stuck your nose up a cows ass. (not that I ever did that)

    @13: It is called colorectal cancer and I would not wish it on anyone. On the other hand, I would wish a jail term for Rossi for illegal campaign contributions and collusion to avoid campaign finance laws.

    I guess it is an oxymoron to say that a republican is cheating on campaign finance laws.
