So how much national attention is the Jim West story getting??

[skooooo]

Jim West, the sleazy mayor of Spokane, WA. Here's a story related to his illegal behavior. Of course, he's a right-wing nutcase.

Anyway, you folks over on the east coast and in the midwest -- have you heard of this story yet? are people talking about it? Just wondering how much exposure this is getting.

Any feedback appreciated.

2. oh he's a real jewel..

He wanted to make teenage sex a misdemeanor while he was in the state senate. Making sex between teens a crime would "give them a reason to say no." Brilliant, huh?
