What took this midget (mentally and physically) so long?
No kidding. What is he, about 4'9"?
Ross is a leftwing radio talk show host (KIRO 710, AM). He was endorsed by the Puget Sounds Big 3 the Seattle PI; Seattle Times; and The [Tacoma] News Tribune. The endorsements of these folks came despite Ross giant intellect. As reported in the PI, this occurred at a Democratic gathering during the primaries:
It's clear that Ross considers himself above political or policy nitty-gritty and ready for coronation. His blithe health-care proposal is that we put our medical bills on credit cards and let government reimburse "necessary expenses." Many low- and middle-income people have no credit cards. Beyond that there are such matters as cost, privacy, financing charges or who would decide what health care charges were "necessary." When quizzed about his plan at a 48th District Democratic meeting, Ross said he had no obligation to offer details and walked off the stage.
Despite this display of towering intellectual ability by leftwing extremist Ross, The [Tacoma] News Tribune, actually had the gall to make the following endorsement of Ross:
Well put our money on Ross, who is intellectually nimble and demonstrates an impressive grasp of regional and national issues.
The editorial page editor at the TNT is a hack named David Seago. In fact, hack is obviously giving him too much credit. Can you imagine the reaction if a conservative candidate had said he had no obligation to provide facts and walked off the stage? Seago and his ilk are beyond the pale.
