That's one way to look at it, sure.

Left us with a giant building we can't afford too.

Got debt?

Kinda hoping the Republicans give her the Rex Ryan treatment.

How many Seattle-area people have now been tapped by Obama for various roles? Doesn't it seem a bit weighted toward us? Not that I'm complaining overall...

@2, Hildreth came to Seattle in early 2009. The new Central Library opened in May 2004. So, yeah, you're full of crap AS ALWAYS.

CONSTANTLY CONSTANT!

@3 a foot massage?

Good riddance. Hopefully she won't screw up her next post with her absurd, corporatist, anti-librarian philosophy.

@6 I said left us with it.

I didn't say had it built, or inaugurated it.

It's kind of like saying George Bush won the 2000 and 2004 Presidential elections.

@9, the IMLS funnels the majority of the Federal money that goes to local public libraries, often administered and distributed through the state libraries. What could possibly go wrong?!

First he caves to Republican Tax Cuts, now Obama is appointing Libertarians to office? Change, indeed.

@10, so you're suggesting she should have had it torn down? What, exactly?

It's always fun to watch you try to dig yourself out of one of your holes. You invariably just keep digging deeper. Everything you can think of to redeem yourself is the precise opposite of redemption.

Look: "she left us with a giant building we can't afford" absolutely implies to every sentient person that she's somehow responsible for it. She isn't. You're wrong.

You're the stupidest fucking sack of muck on the face of the earth.

@8, wouldn't that be the Michelle Ryan treatment?

@13 sold it or leased part of it. It's prime real estate.

@16 that's City Hall.

Good riddance, Maybe we can get a real librarian to run the show.

@18 fat chance of that.

Bigger chance that Paul Allen will pay for the Sonics to move back into Key Arena, and rename it Vulcan Arena.
