Mayor Murray drops out of race(breaking)!!!

[djf]

Mayor Murray of Seattle has just dropped out of the Seattle mayors race.

FYI

Couldn’t divert people by the ‘white folk drink tax’ from his pedophilia.

[Cowboy Bob]

He wouldn’t do this unless he was guilty.

Who..and why is this important?

When there was a single accuser, I thought “Well, he looks like a lech, but maybe not”.
Then there was three accusers, and I thought “Seems pretty solid to me...”

What made up my mind was when, after the fourth accuser came forward, the media finally admitted that AT LEAST one of the accusers was gay. That told me he was guilty, as why would a gay person try to get Murray expunged? He wouldn’t, no matter what.

Shades of Mayor Norm Rice. Rising star eclipsed.

Fingers crossed kshwama sawant, the communist runs and wins. You get the politician you deserve and Seattle deserves it good and hard.

dropping out of the race is meaningless....he should resign immediately and put up the good PR face by saying he wants to devote more time to "fighing" the sexual abuse charges...

right..

How about some details for people who DO NOT LIVE IN SEATTLE

[Fightin Whitey]

Murray is the Leftist mayor of Seattle, and of late has been accused by three or four (the number is climbing) bums, addicts and street urchins of compelling them to provide butt-sex, by bribery, by force, by various legal threats, whatever.

The scandal has shown up on drudge but virtually none of the media is covering it, let along driving it home (so to speak) as they would if this dirtball were a conservative.

He's the flaming liberal mayor of Seattle. Flaming in all the usual senses of the word.

[rockrr]

He’s going down - and not in a ghey way ;’}

[editor-surveyor]

Not at all important!

Just more Seattle sewage.

They’ll just replace him with a clone.

Thanks...now his name sounds familar.

What happened to Rice? Wikipedia makes no mention of scandal (because he’s a Democrat).

His city car was stolen from out front of his homo lovers house. The story was suppressed but the possibility of it coming out kept him from seaking another elected office. My source is retired Seattle LEO.
