The Comedy of Errors Continues

President Obama's choice for #2 at HUD?

The 'most fined' bureaucrat in Washington state's history.

Sims is culpable for what may well become the largest fine for violations of public records laws in U.S. history: see Yousoufian, Armen
My own public records suit against Sims (for delaying release of election records which revealed that King County officials unlawfully counted hundreds of ineligible ballots in the 2004 governor’s race) goes to trial in April.

Read Ed's whole post. This is yet another unforced error by Team Obama.

Predictably, some in the media are still busy spinning.

10 In the meantime, Victor Davis Hanson has been detailing the failures of the Obama admininstration to date and it's positively hair raising:

Hanson is correct. Obama had better get it together or we're all going to pay dearly.

Well, if the shit hits the fan on this one, at least the people who get their news from the Seattle P-I might finally get to read about who really won the 2004 Gubenatorial election... or about this lawsuit at all.

Again the MSM covers itself in glory, although to be fair, anyone who didn't know the the election was rigged in King Country is arguably comatose.

13 The MSM probably won't dig up the rotten corpse of open elections in Washington.

Man, both this bum and Gregoire should be in jail, but you know it's not going to happen.

As Obama said, "there are not two sets of rules for people, unless one of those people is a Democrat and the other's not."

The New York Times has started selling front-page ad space: $75k during the week, $100k for the Sunday edition.

Michael Steele ought to buy an ad, run some call for resumes from "honest, taxpaying, law-abiding Democrats to staff the Obama Cabinet."

We deserve a better quality of villain than The One is giving us.

Please, can we ixnay on the Simsnay. I'd like him to go far, far away from Seattle. It would be great if Gregoire trotted off to DC as well. And, is it possible that they'd like one Mayor, slightly used, and full of stupid?

I mean I know it would move them from ruining one city and state to creating epic fails on a larger scale, so I'm sorry about that. But, I really want them gone from here so we can get in a new set of fuck-ups.

23 This has to be disappointing because here in WA Sims is known as the Supreme Party Leader. When he got tapped for the #2 job the other day, this is one thing he said:

"We all need to own the reality of inequity."

Huh? Obviously, this man walks in The One's footsteps: Life isn't fair and it's government's job to fix that. Definitely presidential material...

Posted by: hannitys_hybrid at February 04, 2009 11:13 AM (SqeY4)

And, is it possible that they'd like one Mayor, slightly used, and full of stupid?

They probably have one of their own already - there's plenty of them over-qualified to run any Donkopolis into the ground, you know?

Posted by: sherlock at February 04, 2009 11:17 AM (ZrS0c)

I would pile on the Mr. Sims is an idiot bandwagon but I do not want to risk him not getting the job and moving back East.

So long dipshit.

None of you lowly conservatives know the truth about "The One". He is smarter than all of you put together. You see his plan is to drag out getting the stimulus bill passed by turning Pelosi's people against her. And while that is going on he is going to nominate every democrat for some position or other so that their tax scoff lawing can be revealed. Thereby forcing them to pay up and then there won't be a need for a stimulus bill.

Isn't "He" just wonderful?

32 Thanks for noticing the inconsistency of appointing Ron Sims, of all people in the entire country, to anything in the Obama administration. Obama's campaign rhetoric included an emphasis on "transparency" and his first executive order was to lift document production restrictions under FOIA.

If you're curious about the details of my 12 years plus long Public Disclosure Act litigation against King County (Washington State) Executive Ron Sims, resulting in the highest court ordered fines in U.S. history under any state's open records act, check my website: www.ArmenYousoufian.com or my blog: www.Yousoufian.blogspot.com. You'll find links to articles, You Tube videos explaining it all, the legal rulings through 6 court appearances (I prevailed every time), legal briefs since 2001, etc.

78 Certainly watches are Replica Watches used to help people record rolex Watches time, but rolex watches nowadays its functions have enlarged. Replica watches are now tag heuer Watches not only objects that tag heuer watches can tell you what time it is, they are also a status symbol. You should not feel strange when you find someone wearing a watch on his wrist, but use the cell phone to tell time. In that situation, the watch is just showing its luxurious function cartier watches. It is normal and cartier watches perhaps also happens to you. .If asked that among the watches of various brands, which one can suit your taste? There is no doubt that most people will choose Rolex. Whichever social class you are in, it is naturally Rolex was known breitling Watches and cherished breitling watches for a long time. However, the elements do not usually enter the market alone, always come with the price tag up to the hand. For this reason, many people, especially men, their dreams of luxury Rolex watches are buried in omega Watches his heart omega watches. What should I do? Rolex watches are simply stunning worn by the rich and famous, right? No, this world is not the world's richest men, is the world of each. All are equal before the search of luxury and be men's watches respected. Within men's watches, the law, when consumers are in the market, women's watches they should women's watches receive the same treatment. This is the real reason why replica Rolex watches are ladies watches ladies watches more welcome than Rolex. Because in this world are not difficult to understand that the rich are much less than people with low income, you agree with me? You are forced to nod and say with certainty that is the reality. These low-income people do not have enough money to save every month. They can not afford such luxury Rolex watches

79 Factors Replica Watches About The Rolex replica watches Oyster The Oyster is so closely get in touch with Rolex, and it is inevitably that some people think these are the only Replica watches Rolex manufacture. Others suppose that there is a single Oyster watch. But as a matter of fact, the name Oyster does not actually meant for a rolex Watches particular watch you can buy rolex watches or even to a series but to a type of case that available in some of the Rolex ranges. History The Oyster case was first released in 1926. The objective was to protect the workings of the watch from dust and moisture. Early watches were far from waterproof. The Oyster tag heuer Watchescase was an tag heuer watches innovative design to eliminate these problems. It had a new double locking crown that screwed into place. It has been compared to the hatch on a submarine. Like a submarine, the Oyster case was waterproof. In 1927 Mercedes Gleitze swam the English breitling Watches Channel breitling watches . Before she set off she was presented with a Rolex Oyster. When she arrived, the watch was still working perfectly. The resulting publicity gave the new case a massive boost. Why is it called Oyster? Legend has it that Hans cartier Watches Wilsdorf cartier watches, who invented the Oyster, chose the name because the new case reminded him of the difficulty he had experienced prising open oysters at dinner. Since then the Oyster has further, particularly advanced. Many Oyster watches today are omega Watches perpetual-self-winding, in other omega watches words, it does not require to expose the mechanism to the outside world in order to wind it. The Osyter Perpetual is one of the toughest, most durable, most reliable watches (under truly adverse conditions). It is probably the best mechanical watch money can buy.
