#1 this also made WSJ's Best of The Web today, so it'll catch a lot of attention. Nice work by the "~~Moron~~ Mom in Tennis Shoes"

#2 $1000-a-plate breakfast fundraiser that netted $10,000? How did Ms. Murray's staff enjoy the food? I only hope the people north of me throw this socialist out on her ear!

#3 When I clicked on the link, I got an "illegal referrer" message...any opinions on why?

#4 Don't know why the link wouldn't have worked the original article was from a Seattle paper. I guess that means this isn't news to her constituents.

#5 Whether the episode will harm Murray is impossible to know. Democrats said they doubt it will register with voters.

"This is an issue that plays in Washington, D.C., but itâs just not playing in Washington state," said Cathy Allen, a Democratic strategist in Seattle.

That is because the democratic party's lapdogs in the local Washington State media are not reporting it - it is not in any local news link that I could find.

Anyone have a decent link (that is not illegal referrer)?

#7 Thanks SH. I guess some Seattle area news are reporting it after all.

#8 I recall Senator Murray as the one who told some school kids that maybe UBL was loved in the Middle East because he built so many roads, and schools and day care centers.

#10 $1000 a plate and raised only $10,000? I am not that smart, but doesn' that mean only 10 people attended? Not a very good showing.

#11 I bet she gets a tough challenge in the primary. No party can afford to send a candiadate with a tin ear into a genernal election. I am assuming that her views on OBL are offensive in Washington state. That may be a bad assumption.

#12 I have lived in Seattle for 30 years, and have watched it turn from a laissez-faire place to a nuthouse. In Eastern Washington they mostly have their heads screwed on, but 60% of the State's population is between Everett and Olympia. That 60% is predominately wacko liberal, and gets more so every year. No tax is too high, no program too looney, no position too liberal, for this lot. We spend tens of billions to put trains and monorails where 80%-subsidized busses now run. Hey, we're voting tomorrow on an "espresso tax" so the bureaucrats can hire more buddies "for the kids," dontcha know. That's just the least of it. My property taxes rose 2000% in 20 years, which is typical. Really.

Hey, this is really turning into a rant! Let me unbunch my knickers and conclude by saying that Patty bin Murray hews to the party line on "the right to choose" and the perpetual expansion of wealth transfer from those who succeed to those who don't, so most of that 60% don't give a damn if she's a lunatic on OBL, disrespectful of 9-11 or anything else. She's the "D" and she'll be reelected if she runs. She will continue to be an embarrassment to the state and to say dumb things (in real life, she is an idiot) and the majority of her constituents just don't care, because she's politically correct. Sure wish Jennifer Dunn would have challenged her.
