Whitey's been working club security in Seattle for six years. He's roughly 6-foot-12 and 892 pounds, which means there's a lot of Whitey to love—and a lot of Whitey to kick your ass if you piss him off. You may run into Whitey working the door at the Showbox, Neumo's, and Havana. (In the past he may have bounced your ass at the War Room, Chop Suey, or Bad Juju.)

Whitey helped us screen this year's candidates, checking IDs and kicking out those unfit for city council. Here are Whitey's reasons for bouncing the losers.

Jean Godden

"No outside booze allowed in the club."

Robert Sondheim

"This guy didn't even have his ID on him—a total amateur-night mistake. Plus, he got all pissy when I made him leave and go get it. 'Tough on crime' my ass."

Lauren Briel

"Judging from her contribution totals [$9,965], she couldn't afford the cover. Or a drink. Or a tip. I look out for my waitstaff."

Al Runte

"I thought we already 86'd this guy. Besides, didn't the Seattle Weekly endorse him?"

John Manning

"Didn't we already kick this guy out, too? Some guys just won't take 'no' for an answer. I bounced him hard so he'd get the message."

Bruce Harrell

"I'm trained to spot trouble. This guy was trouble. He's an ex-jock and had a bad temper. Anyone who won't shut up about how they're a 'fighter' won't last long in my club."

Scott Feldman

"It was for his own good that I bounced him. This club is too rough for him."

Stan Lippmann

"Lippmann is on every 86 list in town. I can't believe you guys even invited him."
