Three-time loser Dino Rossi completed an extraordinary political comeback today, when the King County Council appointed him to fill the remaining four months of Cheryl Pflug's 5th LD state senate term:

“I’m very humbled for the opportunity to be able to serve the citizens of the 5th Legislative District once again,” Rossi said in a press release. “During the next four months, if any constituent needs assistance involving the state of Washington, please contact my office.”

Senator Rossi's caretaker term will expire before the start of the next legislative session, making it the perfect opportunity for Rossi to exercise his unique brand of leadership.
