The Reagan Wing Hearin lies the real heart of Washington State Republicans. Doug Parris runs this red-meat social conservative group site which bars no holds when it comes to saying who they are and who they're not; what they believe and what they don't; who their friends are and where the rest of the Republicans can go. Well-written, and flaming.
Orbusmax inexhaustible Drudgery of NW conservative news
The Radio Equalizer prolific former Seattle KVI, KIRO talk host speaks authoritatively about radio.
Suzan DelBene is, of a sudden, making some progress in her endeavor to beat Rep. Dave Reichert ("Sheriff Hairspray" as he's known to former law enforcement colleagues) in the 8th District election.
With Suzan DelBene closing in on the Bland Bombshell, 8th District Rep. Dave Reichert, it's time to dust off our 2006 exposé of the drastic... er, expansion of the facts in his repeated claims of catching the Green River Killer.
Fact is: technology caught the killer, not Detective Reichert's dogged shoe-leather sleuthing as his press and the breathless Lifetime Channel movie so dramatically, yet eroneously recounts. Even then, on Sheriff Reichert's watch, the saliva sample that could have busted Ridgway as early as 1996 when the DNA technology became available, was not tested until 2001.
And it gets worse. (Part 2 tomorrow: there will be frozen clitorises!)
In March, KIRO Little Hero Dori Monson (m-f, 12-3p) asked Rep. Dave Reichert, “Did I hear you say earlier that you wanna, you wanna, fix this bill? Because the strategy among a lot of Republicans that I’m hearin' over the last 24 hours is tuh repeal it. Going forward, do you wanna fix this bill, or do you want tuh repeal this bill?”
“Now, first of all, are there any reporters in the room? Does anybody recognize… are there any people in here that you recognize as strangers? So we know that all of us in here are family, right?"
(photo: the package is misleading)
Then Rep. “Transparency Dave” Reichert (WA-8) totally busts himself, bragging to a roomful of Republican PCO’s that his pro-environment votes have all been tactical to keep environmentalists and their money off his back in his swing-y district.
It was the third time in three weeks! Today, Rep. Dave Reichert stood-up Steve Scher on his market-leading Weekday (KUOW m-f, 9-11a).
(photo: Dave Reichert- the package, unfortunately, is empty).
Funny, we've heard The Haircut around the dial a lot lately. On Kirby Wilbur, Dori and Dave -- last weekend on KVI'sCop Talk (Sat. 6-7p). Even the cops tried to lick Reichert to death, and he purred like a kitten.
Democrats are launching a radio ad campaign against 28 congressional Republicans who have obstructed
President Obama's stimulus package, and the children's health bill.
Targets include 8th District haircut, Dave Reichert, as always seen as a liberal Republican who's vulnerable in 2010.
In the dry-spell after the long feed at the 2008 election trough, it's a much-needed stimulus package for stations dining on the bread & water of what's left of the retail advertising.
Defrocked KIRO talk host David Goldstein, political blogger, (HorsesAss.org) and Dave Ross fill-in, will be on Meet the Bloggers with Cenk Ugyur.
Also appearing: Darcy Burner who's running against the coiffed Sheriff of
Bland for the 8th District (
WA) congressional seat; Seattle's Joan McCarter (Daily Kos), and Matt Stoller (Open Left). They'll will discussing ways to bring about an end to the Iraq War. Specifically, they will focus on IT A Responsible Plan to End the War in Iraq, which Burner co-authored. Read the Responsible Plan here.
Darcy Burner will appear this afternoon on The Rachel Maddow Show (KPTK m-f, 3-5p).
Darcy is running hard against the Auburn fly-weight, Rep. Dave "Hollywood" Reichert, the 401st most influential man in Congress.
Burner will speak with Rachel about The Responsible Plan to End The War in Iraq, a substantive 36-page exit strategy for the seemingly intractable mess we're in written by a group of Democratic congressional candidates with some military experts.
"It's one thing to write a hero [for a movie]. It's different to be a
real hero. That's what David Reichert is. It's slightly intimidating to
play him when you know the breadth of his accomplishments, but we had a
great group of people to help bring it to life. We knew we had to live
up to Congressman Reichert's actions. We knew what a hero he was. The
real challenge was trying to live up to that." ~~ actor Tom Cavanagh (above right)
"[Dave Reichert] desecrated the victims. The public ought to know that," says Seattle University journalism and criminal justice Professor Tomás Guillén.
The pristinely coiffed sheriff (above left with the actor who plays him) is portrayed as the dogged cop who got the Green River killer in The Capture of the Green River Killer, airing Sunday and Monday nights on the Lifetime Movie Network.
Guillen is describing Republican 8th District Congressman Reichert,known in local law enforcement as 'Sheriff Hairspray' -- and
for his manipulation of the Green River murder investigation in order to climb up into party politics.
The movie will keep alive the Reichert-stoked myth that his police work and determination was responsible for the arrest of Gary Ridgway.
