WTF?

A good pissin' match takes place and THAT'S all that pans out.

Oooooo.

Can we still move Brad Owen into her current position?

A good chance that while she is out of the country that Brad is in her position.

Brad Owen is a Douche.

No chance about it, that's exactly how it is...under State law, when the Governor is anywhere out of the State the Lt. Governor "assumes" her duties...but not as Acting Governor, just as "the dude in charge while the Gov's gone"...

Fish on...

Todd

We can always hope, can't we?

"Don't stop thinking about tomorrow..."

That Gregoire bitch, Oregon's looking at a billion dollar deficit in our up coming budget, somebody needs to stop her.

It's Clintons fault.

Ed Zachary

With all the hype, I went to bed last night guessing that Gregoire got a cabinet post and she nominated Ron Simms to take her place

The further north that guy is, the better. Already enough loonies in O-town.

Please choose your words more carefully.

They all knew it would be bad when that last budget was penned...here is a bit of news from a Press Release in 2006 by Senator Zarelli, ranking republican on Ways and Means on the budget we just are finishing up.

“The governor has a responsibility to put forth a budget each year. In doing so, we get to peek behind the curtain and see her priorities. By spending our $1.9 billion reserves down to $344 million, it’s apparent that one priority is the fact that Washington’s reserves are for government spending.

“And once again, we are setting forth a budget that literally spends us into a deficit in the very near future. The governor’s own budget office projects that merely carrying forward her 2007-09 budget proposal results in a general fund state deficit of $1.2 billion in 2009-11, and double that in 2011-13.

“The fact is, this budget accounts for the next biennium but doesn’t look out in a responsible way for the future. It uses up one-time money to create more programs and grow the overall budget to nearly $30 billion, a $2.65 billion increase over the current budget.

She was in Iraq. On our dime of course. But she took the time to teleconference with the local media. "No" I ran for governor, I want to be the governor. Lets make her president of Iraq.

LB - I heard that the Feds paid for the trip. Still our dime but a little bit better.

She was over there giving Washington's Army Guard an attaboy.
Or don't you you think they deserve a pat on the back for all their hard work, from their leader?
Perhaps we should make the troops pay their own way to and from the war, just think of the money we could save.
Or better yet why don't you join the Army Guard and do your patriotic duty, or are you one of those yellow bellied chicken hawks we see running around pretending to be patriots?

+1

He can't help it...it's too full of free thinkers and patriots who put good of people and country ahead of partisan dipshitedness.

Fish on...
