UPDATE: Wow, we totally fucked this one up. Vision blurred by our years-long dislike of idiot congressman Dave Reichert (or maybe it was by that “very special” hit someone gave us to get us over the depressing realization that anti-choice, pro-gun, empty suit Reichert is probably going to win again), we fixated on Democrat Tony Ventrella. He’s a former KING TV sportscaster, people like sports and sports guys, and we thought: “Maybe in the purplish 8th District, they like sports and sports guys better than guns and trying to control women’s bodies?” But, uh, then we realized… a short time before our deadline (don’t tell our boss)… that Ventrella dropped out of the race weeks ago for “personal reasons.” (Really, don’t tell our boss. He still thinks Ventrella is in the race.) Then, for reasons that are now lost to time and that “very special” stuff, we thought it would be funny to endorse Ventrella anyway, since he’s still on the ballot because he dropped out so late.
