April 20th is Hitler's birthday. I know this because it's my birthday. Those of us born on this date are well aware of what a awful, shithole day it is to be born, by virtue of the absolute litany of disasters, natural and otherwise, which have occurred on this date, or within a few days of it, for eons, all because of the Nazi guy, or because god hates spring.

To whit (so far:)

Boston marathon bombing: 4/15
Oklahoma City bombing: 4/19
Columbine: 4/20
Brand Davidian: 4/19
Deepwater Horizon explosion: 4/20
Virginia tech shooting: 4/19
1906 San Francisco earthquake: 4/18
Titanic sinking: 4/18
etc.

The only disaster that didn't occur the week of my fucking birthday (so far) is 9/11.

Here's hoping Bush comes to town and creates his own campaign-imploding disaster in the form of some asinine 47% type crack a la Mittens.

The response to this invite needs to be similar to the reception of Newt Gingrich in which at least 12,000 people were protesting in the street.

scrolling down the invitation was like this for me "It's gotta be in Bellevue. Has to be in Bellevu - There's no way it's in .. Downtown!? What are they thinking!?"

"To wit", not "to whit". Ugh.

Failed cell phone wizard looking for fat Republican handouts?

Barack does his fundraising in Medina as well, but he doesn't even have the courtesy to do a roundtable in Seattle like Jeb does.

The builders of Premiere put the whole tower up for a flip, and hope to get north of $250 million for it. It's basic marketing to loan out one of their rental penthouses to a group of conservatard billionaires. At least one of those guys lives perched above the Seattle Four Seasons he controls so maybe he'll walk to it, ha ha.

But the timing for a Monday is a little optimistic, no? How do you get from a "roundtable" downtown starting 4:30 to a reception in Medina that starts an hour and a quarter later? You can't tell me Jeb Crickety Bush rates a motorcade. I wonder if blocking their route with a clusterfuck of partially clothed bicyclists isn't the surest way to fuck with them?

I'd have thought that with an event this classy, they would have managed to proofread the invite. I'm betting that "Cylde Holland" wasn't too impressed.

I hear Jeb is Hispanic

@8, oh man, it's Clyde Holland who built the Premiere where the "roundtable" will be held. He's the one aiming to flip it now. I missed that.

@7, 10: Such a reservoir of Seattle lore and scuttlebutt. Mossback's got nothing on you, but I'd be willing to bet you've got something on him. XD

$25,000 per couple / $12,500 per person.

In other words, "Fuck you, couples."

That is one fucking ugly invitation. Dubya was a piece of shit, but his propaganda always looked good.

Fiorina '16

now i know how many republicans there are in seattle

also, "tiffany grabenhorst"

Who in their right mind would spend $25,000.00 to support this stupid fucking moron?

TGFundraising.com? I wish they were raising funds for actual TGs instead of John Ellis Fucking Bush.

(And remember, folks, JEB is that rich douchebag's INITIALS, not his name. So "Jeb Bush" is actually John Ellis Bush Bush. And how can you stupidly publish your constituents' Social Security numbers without even a "Whoops!" and still be a candidate for anything.)

@14 LOL dream on.

Paying $25,000.00 for a politician is a bargain.
