The sun is shining, the Seahawks are demolishing the hated Giants… what better way to celebrate than to kick back with a cold beer and “The David Goldstein Show” tonight on Newsradio 710-KIRO, 7PM to 10PM?
7PM: Is it time we stop electing judges? The Seattle P-I thinks so, and I agree. We dodged a bullet Tuesday in the Alexander-Groen race when WA voters rejected a $2 million smear campaign against a sitting, centrist justice, but that’s just a hint at the kind of special interest and out of state money putting the independence of our courts at risk. Don’t believe me? Former WA Insurance Commissioner Deborah Senn will join me to talk about the $1.5 million the US Chamber of Commerce spent to defeat her (read “The Secret Chamber“,) and the hundreds of millions they’ve spent to elect right-wing judges nationwide.
8PM: Tunnel, rebuild, or no-build? Now that the latest cost estimates have come in, it doesn’t look like we can replace both the Alaska Way Viaduct and the 520 floating bridge for much less than $9 billion, raising the question of whether we can afford to replace them at all. The Stranger’s transportation maven, Erica C. Barnett joins me to discuss our region’s transportation quandary. We’ll also be joined by an advocate of the controversial “surface street” option, which essentially replaces the Viaduct with, um… nothing.
9PM: Is torture an American value? President Bush and the Republican leadership seem to think so, and so far the American people have failed to rise up in protest. David Neiwert of the blog Orcinus says the President is leading our nation into a “moral abyss,” and he pins part of the blame on the “abysmal […] performance of the press.” David will join me in the studio to take your calls.
Tune in tonight (or listen to the live stream) and give me a call: 1-877-710-KIRO (5476).
“…against a sitting, centrist justice…”
I that judge was really “centrist” Goldie would be all over herself criticizing him endlessly.
Just a reminder. George Bush used coke, got arrested for DUI, ran THREE businesses that went bankrupt, went AWOL from the NG after using his dad’s influence to get to the front of the line, and then ran the most corrupt regime in US history.
What a legacy.
I have criticized Alexander, especially over his decision to uphold the state ban on gay marriage.
Sorry… the guy is Dan Evans Republican. Can’t get much more centrist than that.
darn, i was hoping you all would be defending “purple rage” willie …
ps, #2, maybe dui and chpt 11 is true, other stuff isn’t. And as for most corrupt….who’s corrupt exactly? no lincoln bedroom deals right, no stealing the furniture, no sandy berger stealing documents, no whitewaater..
you mihgt have a shot at an argument that bush is doing stupid things, but your purple rage makes all rational people tune out
Every word in #2 is true. . .
Re: 2 and 5: keep screaming it loud and long dims, PLEASE keep screaming it… maybe you can get slick willie to add it to his finger pointing purple range repetoire.
One can only hope.
PLEASE keep screaming it
Who is doing the screaming . . . ?
“purple rage”
Sigh… Bill Clinton handed Chris Wallace’s ass to him and all wingers can do is smirk.
So why didn’t Shrub try to retaliate against al-Qaeda for the Cole bombing?
You wingers can’t answer that.
8 months plus and withdrawing from ABM treaty, Star Wars boondoggles, tax cuts and long vacations had more priority than protecting the country from terrorist attacks.
Always remember, 9/11 happened on Shrub’s watch.
You’re discussing transportation on the radio and you’re inviting Erica C. Barnett? Sorry, but I’ll be cleaning my oven. That bimbo has less credibility than Mark the Redneck or JCH.
um, oh geee, maybe because he GWB wasn’t Prsident until 4 months after the Cole bombing…. you dolt.
You can’t spin away more a half dozen acts of terrorism during 8 very long party years of slicks reign vs 8 months of GWB.
For that matter, when 9/11 happened he didn’t even have a complete cabinet in place.
Hmmm whch party are the obstructionists, Mr Schumer?
and the bottom line, dolt… is that there hasn’t beeen another on American soil since 9/11… the party pres only wishes he could say that.
Shit, another week gone by and STILL no major hurricanes. Dang… What’s up with you global warming kook aid drinkers? Are you as full of shit as your gawd Algore?
Quoting from the gawd of global warming: “Two thousand scientists, in a hundred countries, engaged in the most elaborate, well organized scientific collaboration in the history of humankind, have produced long-since a consensus that we will face a string of terrible catastrophes unless we act to prepare ourselves and deal with the underlying causes of global warming. Ladies and gentlemen, the warnings about global warming have been extremely clear for a long time. We are facing a global climate crisis. It is deepening. We are entering a period of consequences.” http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0912-32.htm
Unfortunately, the facts don’t support Algore’s ill informed alarmist predictions.

For you moonbats who know how to use Excel, try this: Take the above data and plot it in chart form. Then apply a second order polynomial trendline to it. Notice the strong downward trend and an R^2 value of 89%. Clearly the number of major hurricanes has been decreasing for 60 years while industrialization and human activity has been accelerating. 2005 is what is known in the adult world as an “anomaly.
If Algore was right, we should have had at least 15 major hurricanes in 2006 by now. How many have we actually had? Umm…. Zero. None. Zip. Nada. So where is the “string of terrible catastrophes”?
Could it be that Algore is full of shit? Could it be that the link between hurricanes and global warming is weak at best? Could it be that there is no fucking “crisis”? Could it be that you koolaid drinkers need to re-examine your position? Nah….

The fruits of an unserious presidency
Now that the intelligence community has come out with a report saying Bush’s fake war in Iraq has actually increased terrorism, well I can’t wait to see the lapel-pin, chickenhawk patriots on the right spin this one.
Face it, you righties LIKE terrorism. You WANT terrorism. It serves your purpose. We need to put you criminals in jail where you belong and save America.
Of course you want to appoint all Judges and it isn’t to insure an impartial judiciary. It is to further the leftist agenda and taint the courts for decades to come……
sorry dolt, you listened to the NYTLiars again, didn’t you? you might want to read the entire report, dolt, rather than cherry picking your favorite koolaid flavor from it… kinda like the NYTLiars did.
you just gotta pity these stupid liberals expounding with half baked claims on half witted ‘reporting’.

LMAO… oh the humor in the hypocrisy hurts!
Too afraid? Thought so…
Thanks for showing your cowardice for all to see.
Well, we looked through what Dick Clarke said, and he gives Mr. Clinton much more mixed grades than the president said.
On the one hand, Clarke says this, and let’s put it on the screen:
“Bill Clinton was obsessed with getting bin Laden. Bill Clinton ordered bin Laden assassinated. He ordered not only bin Laden assassinated but all of his lieutenants. The CIA failed him.”
But after the bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998, President Clinton ordered a cruise missile attack on an Al Qaida training camp in Afghanistan, and here Clarke is not so positive. Take a look.
“Clinton bombed them once. The public reaction was negative to that. Remember ‘wag the dog’? Everyone said Clinton is just bombing Afghanistan to divert attention from the Monica business, and so he didn’t bomb them again.”
And, Brit, we also found that in the 9/11 Commission report, the bipartisan report of the 9/11 Commission, they said that, in December of 1999, Dick Clarke sent a memo in the Clinton White House, as the Clinton adviser, urging an attack on Al Qaida bases before the millennium, when everybody thought there would be a terror attack. Sandy Berger, Bill Clinton’s national security adviser, wrote on the memo, “No.”
MARA LIASSON, NPR: Well, I mean, eight years versus eight months — I think you could say he had a lot more time to try. He says he tried and failed. But he wants credit for trying. And I guess he feels sensitive that he’s being attacked by some people for not doing enough.
I mean, in terms of being motivated by worrying about his legacy, I mean, legacies take a long time to get settled. But right now, it doesn’t seem to me — and the reason why I was kind of mystified by Clinton’s outburst is that it doesn’t seem to me that the consensus is forming that he is somehow to blame for 9/11 more than the Bush administration.
HUME: Let’s talk a little bit about the political will that existed in the country after 9/11. Bill Clinton didn’t have anything like that behind him when he was trying to do what he tried to do. So what could a president have done?
If you look back at the first World Trade Center bombing, he was president; it was 1993. And he chose to treat that as a law enforcement matter.
And, you know, in retrospect, he could’ve made a different decision. He could have sounded the call and said, “This is a major attack. It requires a major response.” He would’ve had to make a huge deal out of it and use the presidential megaphone to the fullest.
The same is true after the bombings of the embassies. The same is true after the bombing of the Cole. He could’ve elevated those.
The country would’ve swung behind him, as the country always does at times like that. The politicians probably would have, too. And he probably would’ve gotten what he needed to mount — the political effort needed to mount a larger-scale undertaking.
I think it’s fair to say that he and his administration chose not to do that. In retrospect, it looks like bad choices. But, no doubt, he did make some efforts. He’s right about that.
BARNES: Well, I haven’t read the report. And we do know this: that there is this radical fever raging among Muslims all over the world, particularly among young Muslim men, that has led to terrorist attacks on Europe, Asia, 9/11, for instance, here in the United States. And so, it’s growing.
The question is, would it continue to be growing, this terrorist threat, absent Iraq? I think it would be growing. Would it be growing as much? I don’t know.
Remember, when was the biggest growth period of all for Al Qaida? When did Al Qaida grow? It was not when we were in Iraq. It was in the 1990s when it was growing like crazy, when there were attacks on the United States then, in the earlier World Trade Center attack and the one on the embassies and so on. That’s when Al Qaida was growing. No Iraq then.
My guess is it would be growing anyway, because there’s this historical trend among Muslims.
WALLACE: Brit, we’ve had the president, over the course of the last few weeks, around the time of the 9/11 fifth anniversary, saying that we’re not safe but we’re getting safer and we’ve done a very considerable job in degrading Al Qaida.
Does this kind of report, indicating that there’s a new generation of Islamic terrorists and that, in fact, the overall threat is greater, does that contradict what the president said?
HUME: Well, it would seem to on the surface. The thing is we don’t know what the overall conclusions of this National Intelligence Estimate were. We know this one piece of it.
When it says the threat is greater, does it mean the threat is greater to the United States mainland, to our country? Does it mean the threat is growing worldwide? It’s not clear. Obviously, the threat continues to grow.
One wonders, too, about the idea behind it. I mean, what is it about our being in Iraq that so inflames Muslims who were supposedly less inflamed by our toppling this Muslim extremist government in Afghanistan? Hard to say. You know, it may be a recruiting ground, but for those who would — the idea that those are people who otherwise would not have been recruited I think is something you have to question.
LIASSON: Yes. Look, I think that when the NIE said the situation in Iraq has made the terrorist threat worse, I don’t think they’re just talking about Al Qaida — which, I agree with Fred, certainly they have been hurt to a large degree — but there have been all these other local, decentralized, fairly independent groups now that take their inspiration from Al Qaida or get ideas from radical Islamic Web sites, and they’re terrorists too.
Iraq is definitely a rallying cry. It’s also a front line. I think it is a recruiting tool now.
To say, how would it have been any different if we’d just focused on Afghanistan and poured lots of energy into solving the Israeli- Palestinian issue, which I guess is kind of the alternative approach to this, it’s impossible to say.
But the fact is, the situation, I think, worldwide has gotten worse, even though you could say, just by the fact that the U.S. itself has not been attacked, that there’s been some progress there.
8+ months “Dolt” and no response for the Cole even though Clinton passed on a plan to Shrubya..
Was “Dolt” your old handle?
I’ll leave you to your cut and paste of Fox’s spin.

8 FUCKING YEARS… EMBASSIES, THE COLE, WTC 1…NO RESPONSE FROM SUGAR LIPS vs 8 months and an incomplete cabinet thanks to the whiner obstructionists.
Oh I thank God for stupid willie this weekend… watch for the ads boys and girls, sugar lips put the cherry on top of Rove’s October surprise. delicious!
1993 – Clinton forces Israel to let Mohammed Atta go free. Terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the
Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called “political prisoners”. However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands. The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, “insisted” that all prisoners be released. Thus Mohammed Atta was freed and eventually thanked
the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center . This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified.
1993- A humanitarian operation in Somalia is transformed into a military strike, where Clinton refuses to authorize the availability of armor for proper support. When the operation leads to American casualties, Clinton withdraws American forces and sends the message that a “bloody nose” is the only thing necessary for the United States to back down.
1995-1996 – Clinton institutes “Citizenship USA” which pressures the US Department of Justice’s Immigration and Naturalization Service to naturalize some 1,000,000 new immigrants, even though many had incomplete background checks. This allowed for criminals and terrorists to enter America. Whistleblowers to these activities and the large scale selling of Green Cards, were physically threatened and terminated.
August 20, 1998 – The Clinton Administration demonstrates a perfunctory response toward terrorism after the assault on two U.S. embassies in Africa. On Aug. 7, 1998. The U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, were bombed by terrorists, leaving 258 people dead and more than 5,000 injured.
The U.S. Launches cruise missiles, striking an empty terrorism training complex in Afghanistan and destroying a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Khartoum, Sudan. Both targets were claimed to have been financed by Osama bin Laden, but many feel that the ill-planned strike was simply done to deflect legal problems President Clinton was having with Monica Lewinsky. There was no follow-up and Bin Laden was buoyed by our meek approach to the growing terrorist menace.
1999 – The Clinton Administration decides to show the Islamic world that America is more than willing to kill European Christians. He authorizes a war on the Serbs, our only historic friend in the European Balkans. He supports the Islamist, Al Qaeda allied Kosovo Liberation Army (responsible for running the drug and prostitution trade in Europe). He authorizes the bombing of Serb civilian targets such as bridges, hospitals and heating plants, which leads to the death of over 5,000 Serb civilians. This action sets the stage for creating a radical Islamic base in the “belly” of Europe.
October 12, 2000 – Terrorism strikes and almost sinks the Destroyer USS Cole in Yemen. President Bill Clinton does nothing. Reinforces the perception that the United States lacks the will to either defend itself or battle terrorism in spite of considerable loss of life. There was no follow-up.
After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six and injured 1,000, President Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five US military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 US military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1998 bombing of US embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000, Clinton promised that those responsible! would be hunted down and punished.
After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 US sailors, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
Maybe if Clinton had kept his promise, an estimated 3,000 people in New York and Washington, DC that are now dead would be alive today.

An article of impeachment that simply accused Bill Clinton of lying to Ken Starr about getting a blow job.

Gidget,
Get real. Judges are elected by the people or appointed by commissions and Governors and Presidents………
No-one consents when the Governor appoints a Judge. Judges are suppossed to be elected in Washington State, but somehow over 70% of them are appointed. Just like Gerry Alexander’s replacement will be appointed by the Governor when he is forced to retire before the next election.
I do give Clinton some credit for not fucking up the economy that was handed to him. Most of the credit goes to the republican congress elected in 1994.
Bush “might” have caught him, Clinton “might” have caught him and Judges Bridges “might” have ordered a new election…..
Might haves don’t change anything but your attitude when you get bitter thinking about what “might” have been.
I would be for appointing judges only if conservatives are the ones doing the appointing.

Gidget,
Bush never went awol……….
You can claim it all you want to, but it isn’t a fact that is documented anywhere in his military records.
Instead of putting a former president on the defensive with regard to the “handling” of bin Laden, how about holding the current president accountable for his mishandling of the hunt for the world’s greatest terrorist, as well as for his exceptional deployment of weapons of “mass distraction.” Make no mistake, Iran is at least as irrelevant to the “war on terror” as Iraq. This administration’s jihad for global domination, whether it can be described as diabolical or otherwise, is at least as transparent as a Fox reporter’s efforts to pin the blame for global insurgency, and insurrection, on a previous president.
wi’ant ya advertising your name any longer…. wi’ant ya, coward?
I always though Jeane was a nice niddle name, do you?
Smeg, you consent/approve when he/she comes up for reelection. You and Jim King! Honestly!
That is precisely what I want to see changed. I want the money taken out of it. Judges should be nominated and approved and hang in for life in my opinion. That is the only way to insure that they are free of special interests.
If they become corrupt or in some other way fail to do their jobs, they can be either impeached or criminally charged.
Justice requires independence . . . and most judges – once in that honored position – do the ethical thing.
If conservatives are in power, those appointments will likely be more conservative. If liberals are in power, those appointments will likely be more liberal. If both parties are in power – split government – probably very centrist judges will be approved.
Finally, look at your own guy’s appointments to the Court, are they liberal? Did it work?

Gidget,
All federal judges are appointed for life. In this state, they are elected, but still over 70% are appointed because of retirements, etc. If you want independent judges, the best way to get them is elections, not political appointments.
Regardless of the hand wringing of Democrats, the federal appointments are working fairly well. There are some courts that lean left and some that lean right.
If you want special interest out of politics, get rid of ALL PAC’s.

“Of course you want to appoint all Judges and it isn’t to insure an impartial judiciary. It is to further the leftist agenda and taint the courts for decades to come……”
Remembering that an appointed judiciary works both ways, I’m not altogether sure it is a good idea, but here in Washington, the idea is more to head off a right wing agenda that has already been signaled through the Groen candidacy.
The Missouri system has a number of advantages, and a few disadvantages. Still, it would discourage the kind of campaign we recently saw.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missouri_Plan
In reading over the way the system works, there are some pretty good checks on the Governor’s power, and the citizens get the last word on a justice that gets too far out of line.
I can see how the system could be abused, but it would be more difficult than in other systems, and if an organization such as BIAW gets too annoyed with a justice, they could campaign for his/her removal, with the understanding that the replacement may not be any more to their liking.
Essentially, a justice that is openly flaunting and abusing power could be removed, but nobody is likely to try to do so based solely on partisan preference.
We’ve had Republican Governors before, and probably will again. I would expect that with the change of parties in power in Olympia, someone would likely try to vote out a few justices, so that the new Governor could appoint people more to his/her liking.
Even so, the system would be less subject to manipulation than our current system. It’s worth a look.
Gidget,
It isn’t splitting hairs, Bush did what his superiors told him he could do. His commander never reported him missing or AWOL. It is very common for reservists to miss drills for school, campaigns, and thousands of other reasons.
The KEY is – was it an approved authorized absence? The answer is YES, it was approved by his commader.
We need to get one more scalia,Thomas,Alito or Roberts on the SCOTUS to get it in balance with what the majority wants. I sure hope Ginsberg goes soon.

In Tiny Courts of New York, Abuses of Law and Power

An investigation of New York State’s town and village courts found a trail of judicial abuses and errors — and of governmental failure to curb them.

Well, better than collecting them, like you. . .
@75- Skagit, you brain-dead idiot- putting somebody on the bench by your power alone, as the Governor does, does NOT involve “consent”. You might compare our process to the federal one, where nobody gets on the bench (with the rare and limited exception of a recess appointment) without consent- and that is PRIOR consent!
The Gov shoves a judge down our throat, and we have them on the bench- without consent. And even when we finally get a chance to toss their ass off the bench, we are stuck with the decisions made- without our consent.
Govs have even been known to appoint someone to the bench AFTER the people had voted their ass off of the bench.
Consent? Hardly. They are just subject to an election somewhere down the road. Now, Skagit, it is obvious from your postings that all that is too much for your pea brain to get a handle on, but try, for Gawds sake try…
Okay, stop trying- the smell of rubber burning is just too much!

So when a US warship is attacked, the president receives warnings that Osama bun Laden wants to strike in the US, inteligence services are telling him that al Qaeda cells are operting in the US, terrorist chatter has increased exponentially and FBI and CAI are convinced that “something big” is in the works, outgoing Clinton administration officials warn them to focus on terrorism in general and bin Laden in particular, we’re supposed to give Idiot Boy a pass because he was “busy?” Is that what you’re asking us to do? Would you give Clinton the same courtesy?
Bush was so busy, in fact, that he took August off, capping off that first busy, busy eight months in office during which period, according to the Washington Post, he was on vacation forty-two percent of the time.

Interesting comeback skagit. Where are the moonbats with their liberal attacks on George Allen having Jewish blood? I went back and I didn’t find “The Skagit Report” here on AssesHorse when I first posted it!
A refersher for skagit:
I have family in the DC area. This Virginia race is interesting between Jim Webb and George Allen. Writing now on more of Goldie’s ignorance to the left and how they hate Jews look at this:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/...../20/AR2006 092001965.html
Henrietta “Etty” Allen said Wednesday that she concealed her upbringing as a Jew in North Africa from her children, including Sen. George Allen (R-Va.), until a conversation across the dining room table in late August.
She said Allen asked her directly about his Jewish heritage when he was in Los Angeles for a fundraiser. “We sat across the table and he said, ‘Mom, there’s a rumor that Pop-pop and Mom-mom were Jewish and so were you,’ ” she recalled, a day after Allen issued a statement acknowledging and embracing his Jewish roots as he campaigns for a second term in the U.S. Senate.
At the table in Palos Verdes, Calif., Allen’s mother, who is 83, said she told her son the truth: That she had been raised as a Jew in Tunisia before moving to the United States. She said that she and the senator’s father, famed former Redskins coach George Allen, had wanted to protect their children from living with the fear that she had experienced during World War II. Her father, Felix Lumbroso, was imprisoned by the Nazis during the German occupation of Tunis.
“What they put my father through. I always was fearful,” Etty Allen said in a telephone interview. “I didn’t want my children to have to go through that fear all the time. When I told Georgie, I said, ‘Now you don’t love me anymore.’ He said, ‘Mom, I respect you more than ever.’ ”
Now see the moonbats in action:
“George Allen’s New Jew Revue” http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/41884/
“They seriously want us to believe that Allen never knew why his grandfather was thrown in a concentration camp?” [actually, yes –.ed] http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/9/19/164828/708
“[Allen has] something against Jews” http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/9/19/164828/708
“[either] 1) he’s an anti-Jewish bigot, or 2) he’s afraid he’ll lose the bubba vote if people think he’s a Jew.” http://www.dailykos.com/storyo.....123120/518
“George Allen has a nasty, sadistic, vicious, violent streak” http://www.raisingkaine.com/sh.....aryId=4573
“What did [George Allen’s mother] tell her son all these years, that her father was imprisoned by the Nazis because he was gay or a gypsy?” http://americablog.blogspot.co.....her-didnt- bother.html
I always thought DailyKos was a racist son-of-a-bitch and his kool-aid drinkers like Clueless, Tree Frog Farmer, Goldie, McCrainium, and other Furballettes here are Black, Hispanic and Jewish racists. Their own blogs prove it in their posts.
You lib boys had an opportunity to bury Macacas as one idiot here called himself. Then there was Monkey Fest http://www.qando.net/Details.aspx?Entry=4544

Why is it that Bush didn’t do ANYTHING about the Cole? He was in office eight months before 9.11 and had plenty of time to retaliate. Is Bush soft on terror? Are the strong family ties between the Bushs and the bin Ladens a factor in Bush’s failures?
9.11 happened on Bush’s watch. No amount of spin from the retarded right will ever change that. All throughout history for hundreds of years, a republican president will be tied to the failure of 9.11.

This is why the U.N. is a waste of our time…..
TIBNIN, Lebanon, Sept. 24 — One month after a United Nations Security Council resolution ended a 34-day war between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia, members of the international force sent to help keep the peace say their mission is defined more by what they cannot do than by what they can.
The New York Times
United Nations officials in Tibnin say part of their job is to stay neutral.
They say they cannot set up checkpoints, search cars, homes or businesses or detain suspects. If they see a truck transporting missiles, for example, they say they can not stop it. They cannot do any of this, they say, because under their interpretation of the Security Council resolution that deployed them, they must first be authorized to take such action by the Lebanese Army.
The job of the United Nations force, and commanders in the field repeat this like a mantra, is to respect Lebanese sovereignty by supporting the Lebanese Army. They will only do what the Lebanese authorities ask.

Skagit @ 153
I would start by being fair, honest and competent.
I will make sure that all defendants have the right to a lawyer, a fair trial, fair hearings, and reasonable decision-making.
And I certainly would never sentence someone with no prior criminal record to serve 375 days in jail for underage drinking, like Ottinger did to Sara Totten:
http://archives.seattletimes.n.....y=ottinger
Ottinger was disciplined because she denied this young lady the right to an attorney. But I think the bizarrely harsh sentence for underage drinking on someone with a clean record even more strongly demonstrates Ottinger’s unfitness for re-election.
Unfortunately, I don’t think you will ever see Goldy doing any expose’ on Ottinger, like he has done on me.
Is torture an American value? President Bush and the Republican leadership seem to think so.
MWS @ 144
Wasn’t it the moron moonbat brigarde whop said “NO WMDs NO “WMDs””
Umm, there weren’t any.
If Sara Totten had been convicted of a felony in superior court, instead of having the misfortune of appearing before the Honorable Mary Ann Ottinger in district court, she would have needed to commit a relatively serious felony before getting sentenced to more than one year in jail on the first offense.
RCW 9.94A.510 is the sentencing grid, and you have to be a Level VI to get more than one year (12-14 months) on the first offense:
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/def.....=9.94A.510
RCW 9.94A.515 is the list of crimes included within each seriousness level:
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/def.....=9.94A.515
These are the types of felonies in Level VI that Ottinger evidently thinks are just as serious are underage drinking — at least in the case of Sara Totten:
Bail Jumping with Murder 1 (RCW 9A.76.170(3)(a))
Bribery (RCW 9A.68.010)
Incest 1 (RCW 9A.64.020(1))
Intimidating a Judge (RCW 9A.72.160)
Intimidating a Juror/Witness (RCW 9A.72.110, 9A.72.130)
Malicious placement of an imitation device 2 (RCW 70.74.272(1)(b))
Possession of Depictions of a Minor Engaged in Sexually Explicit Conduct (RCW 9.68A.070)
Rape of a Child 3 (RCW 9A.44.079)
Theft of a Firearm (RCW 9A.56.300)
Unlawful Storage of Ammonia (RCW 69.55.020)
MWS @ 147
Yeah, what Allen’s Mom says about it now that Allen’s whole campaign is blowing up in his face is what we should believe. Uh-huh.

Dear carl, did you know your neighbor CC’s house is worth $314,311 (his fell $2,566 last week), while neighbor MC’s is worth $335, 331 (his fell $3,870 last week)?
Dear carl, wi’ant you ask someone the significance of CH1J27?
Dear carl, wi’ant you telling us all about your meeting with americafirst?
Dear carl, wi’ant you answering the questions put to you?
Just one more question Dear carl, why would a woman presumably smart enough to pass the bar waste time with a mini-male like you?
What we the People know to be true:
It took me a while, Anonymous, but your style is unmistakable.
My phone here has not rung. No car coming up the road to the house. Hmmmmmmm…
You can’t play with cards you don’t have, anonymous. -Commentby My Left Foot— 9/24/06@ 11:25 pm
Tsk, tsk,tsk ‘carl’… caller ID and *69… I think not sweetcheeks.
But I’ll tell you what…. teh very next time I come to the Costco out your way… you know the one, next to Home depot, across from Lowes and caddy-corner from that brand new shopping center… I’ll swing on by… the E320 tooling and tooting past will be me. Be sure to give me the princess wave, sweetcheeks.
WOS(aka Puddybud) – you’re insane. I’m going to beat you over the head every chance I get until you condemn the hard-core Christian theocratic anti-semites at CO Springs who are trying to dominate the U.S. Air Force and the rest of the military.
Every chance! I never click on your lame links. If there’s anti-semitism on Kos, it’s been planted by YOUR side.
‘Cuz that’s your side’s style. Commentby For the Clueless— 9/25/06@ 8:17 am
Oh So Clueless: Still waiting for you to prove I am Puddy. Did your concubine relate this to you? Do your friends know you’re a wife beater?

Oh So Clueless Concubine Lover: We don’t post on Kos. It soils us. Too bad you don’t read what moonbats post on Kos. I understand it’s your blog of record!
WOS – I’ll borrow a Puddyism – Go to HellanWait!!!
You’re an Allen man? Of course, it makes sense. Racist name-calling and “standing with” a group of racists for a little photo-op?
It’s RIGHT up your alley WOS.
Carl told me: Fuck you. No online dictionary that I checked has “purposedly” listed. It is an archaic word that you got lucky on. As for KKKlake, I don’t print and catalog what everyone says here. I deal with each thread each day and then move on. Here is something for you. USC class of ‘78, magna cum laude. MBA, Marshall School of Business. Teresa likes me for my mind and my body.
Carl: I posted three on-line dictionary postings for purposedly. I wouldn’t fuck you with JCH’s dick!
Regarding KLake, you have no working memory cells. He is a Great American! Teresa likes you for the brainless man you are!
HowCan, good informational on Left Foot.
Carl: Can you find the same stuff on HowCan? I doubt it.
Oh So Clueless: You lost? Can’t think of anything useful? Cat got your tongue? Why are you a wife beater? Why do you like concubines?
HowCan: I noticed Carl’s house is forced hot air. Is that from his mouth or his ass?
We don’t post on Kos.
Oh yes you do. It’s a fact.
Nothing is beneath you scumbags because all you care about is power. You’ll do anything to keep it: lie, cheat, steal, start phony wars, hack voting machines, suppress votes, divide Americans on wedge issues and pay thugs like you to paste whacko talking points in comment threads.
At the end of the day, that’s what you’ve turned to be WOS – a thug.
Me? I’m just an ordinary American citizen trying to keep his head above water and keep assholes like you from destroying my kid’s future any more than you already have.
Oh by the way, WOS (Wingnut Obsessions Suck)
Fuck you.
Oh SO Clueless Concubine Lover: If you actually read the three KOS links, the jackass himself commented on the entries. But in your moronic stupidity, you dismiss it. I know why. In you heart you can’t understand how could KOS be against Goldie’s people. I understand it well.
Nothing is beneath you scumbags because all you care about is power. You’ll do anything to get it: vote against your people, lie, cheat, steal, go bananas on Fox, hack voting machines, suppress votes in your won districts, divide Americans on wedge issues and pay thugs like you to paste whacko talking points in comment threads.
If you actually read the three KOS links,
I don’t take orders from thugs like you! Post all the links you want – I won’t click on them.
Spew all the bat-shit crazy wingnut propanganda you care to. I scroll right past.
All you’re doing is jerking yourself off. Piss away your worthless life. It’s your choice.
