Kerry Endorsed by Organized Crime Figure

[JailForBush]

That's right, Washington State Governor Gary Locke - one of the biggest de facto criminals in the state's increasingly sleazy history - has endorsed John Kerry's presidential bid.

Locke said, "John Kerry has the right priorities for Washington state."

That's a very frightening statement, considering Locke's priorities - screwing the public, especially children.

"He understands that the people of Washington want good jobs, affordable health care, public schools and universities that are second to none. His experience and leadership skills will get our state and our country back on track."

Blah, blah, blah... Gary Locke knows nothing about leadership.

A far more respectable public official, Rep. Jim McDermott, endorsed Howard Dean. Another corrupt Democrat, Senator Patty Murray, is predictably refusing to take a stand.

In all seriousness, I think Kerry might actually increase his support if he publicly declined Locke's endorsement, blasting the Governor for his shocking crime wave, which includes forcing taxpayers to buy a football stadium for billionaire Paul Allen. The lame duck governor is extremely unpopular in Washington State, and only a fool would pay attention to his endorsements.

Then again, most residents of Washington State are fools.

1. oy.

Just another bandwagoner then. Think people!

You want a military man, vote Clark.
You want a liberal, vote Sharpton or Kucinich.
You want Bush-lite, vote Lieberman.
You want "the next JFK", vote Edwards.
You want a politically experienced Washington outsider, vote Dean.

But if you want someone who will tell you what you want to hear (without doing it)... by all means vote for John Kerry....
