Jenny Durkan calls Tim Eyman a self promoting village idiot

Tim Eyman was in Seattle again today to crash a press conference called by mayoral candidate Jessyn Farrell to speak against Eyman's new anti-Sound Transit initiative.

Eyman took a break from his usual anti-transit/anti-government/anti-Seattle talking points to share his pick for Seattle's next mayor, as if anyone gives a fuck. And guess who it is:

(what follows this paragraph is a video where he endorses Jenny Durkan. The video is in a format that can't be embedded here.)

UPDATE: Durkan responded by calling Eyman "the self-promoting village idiot of Washington State" and taking a dig at Farrell over a vote that will reduce the car tab taxes that help fund Sound Transit 3. Read Durkan's full statement below.

... would have been the initiative to have him officially declared a horse's ass.

He'd be right at home in that dysfunctional, fly-over wasteland.
