Dino slams Seattle on Eastern WA billboards


http://www.horsesass.org/?p=5045

Via The Other Side Online, a photo of the Rossi signs that have been popping up all over Eastern Washington. Notice there is no “paid for” notice as required by law, allowing Rossi to deny responsibility, but really… we all know these professionally printed signs are as much a part of the Rossi campaign as the BIAW’s multi-million dollar media blitz.

But you know, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. If it’s okay for Rossi to stoke anti-Seattle passions in Yakima, while the media covers for him back here, then I think Seattle voters deserve to see the same message, paid for by equally anonymous benefactors. So I’m going to anonymously check out what it costs to put up this sign on a prominent billboard in downtown Seattle, and then anonymously launch an anonymous fund drive to pay for i

1. Boy
That one just never gets old, does it?

I was hoping 'Ol Dino had moved on but alas, seems not to have. Too bad for Washington.

2. After the trial
Edited on Thu Jun-19-08 04:00 AM by Wash. state Desk Jet
Rossi beat it out the the state for a rest as he put it. He took his family to the east coast and visited Philadelphia Penn. There he bought for himself a vintage black Volvo station wagon ,and brought it back to Bellevue. You see for Rossi,after having seen the liberty bell for the very first time in his life ,he felt he should have something of vintage from Philly to remind him of the excursion trip.By the by, thats a nice way of saying he's a cheep skate!

The name he gave to his vintage Volvo station wagon is Little liberty bell Bellvue. That made Rossi feel as though the thing he gifted himself with was meant to be, more like a sign!

When Rossi returned it was time for the state fair. And Rossi was preparing to load up little Liberty Bell Bellevue with his family so he could gift himself with lots and lots of people to cry the blues about his loss. And as you may well know,the state fair to Rossi was just the place for that.

Shortly before Rossi was about to beat it over to the state fair, the local press caught up with him and wanted to know all about his trip. Rossi was glad to see them! At the same time he felt scorned. He felt scorned because the press had turned on him. But he just couldn't resist the cameras!He gave a interview. He said the people of Philly were wonderful and some of the republican insiders thought he should run for the senate! Rossi said he told them no way ,he has his own way about it. The press asked about what? Rossi said to the press, beat it on that question.
The press asked back, whats with this beat it thing? Are using some of Micheal Jacksons lyrics as a means of expressing yourself? Some of both said Rossi.

Rossi bid the press good-by and told them to be well for what it will cost you to be sick ,and shoved off for the fair!

Down the road they go in Rossi's black Volvo station wagon named Liberty Bell Bellevue and away to the state fair!

At the fair Rossi was looking for a ride to put his kids on so he could stand there and attract attention to himself ,he noticed the very very long line at the roller coaster ,the thing of it was,he just couldn't handle the reminder of how he felt as those votes were being counted. But the Farris wheel had a good long line too, that he could handle,from the ground of course.

So Rossi whipped out his pocket mirror so to look at himself to see if he appeared just the right way and than proceeded over in the direction of the farris wheel,so he could stand there and gather the attention of those who sided with him. Rossi dumped off his kids on that ride ,than went on about his business of attracting attention . A fat guy carrying five box's of pop corn yelled out from the crowd, hay,there's Dino Bambeano the guy that lost to the lady! Hay tough luck on your loss Dino,no shit, better luck next time! People of the crowd started laughing in disbelief that anyone would say such a thing that way to Dino Rossi!

So Dino turned to his wife and said, where the hell did that fat ass pop screw come from ,he's spoiling my show. Dino's wife said to Dino, there,there now Dino , fat is not a very nice word ,you should use pleasingly plump because that's more so politically correct! Like hell said Dino fat ass pop screw is about as politically correct as I can get, I should say what I really think! Than where would we go,said Dino's wife!
You might be right about that ,said Dino!
You must hide your inner true self from the public at all times and only show them what you want them to see,said Dino's wife to Dino! You are right as always said Dino!


Dino thought to himself, I gotta duck this crowd and rethink my approach,suddenly he saw something interesting,he saw a booth with a sign that said,mystic psychic teller of things to come.
And Dino thought, I have paid threw the nose for legal advice ,listened to supposed political brain child's about their methods ,and every other ass hole,all of which yielded squat,why the not try some carnival psychic !!!,Nobody's believe in that shit anyway ,so that's got to be as good a place to duck as any!

Dino told his wife to snag the kids when they get off the useless ride and meet him over at that Mastics from the unknowns tent. When Dino walked in the mystic greeted him as the man who almost won, the mystic asked Dino if he had looked at his watch? Dino said,no not lately,why,should I?Indeed,said the mystic. Dino did as the mystic asked. Than the mystic told Dino to turn card number three of five cards lay ed out on the table. Dino said, how about I flip card number one, ? The mystic said, I thought you would say that,go ahead on,flip it! Dino flipped card number one over and was shocked at what it said, it said, A true loser will be reading here at ten after two P.M on this very day!Dino checked his watch again and the time was 12 after 2 ,and Dino said ,you are off,it's two minutes past 10 past two.What time was it when I told you to check your watch? Dino said 10 past 2. And the mystic said yes,it took you two minutes to believe what you saw!

How in the world do I get past this ,asked Dino?
For $300.00 dollars I know that answer ,said the mystic! Do you talk credit cards smirked Dino" ! Damn straight said the mystic ,pass it on over and I'll give it a swipe! Oh ,what the hell said Dino with a frown, give it a swipe I guess, nothing else has worked.

The mystic swiped Dino's card and had him sign z paper and than read him his fortune. It said, You must see the sign yourself before others can fallow your lead. What the hell does that mean for my $300.00 you fake fat ass con artist,said Dino? When you see it,you will know! Just look for the sign!

3. I've seen them.
What a crock of crap! Rossi is not going to win period! This time I think Gregoire is going to pounce on him big time! Rossi is another Bushite neocon shill and I think the voters, not just in Western Washington, are going to see right through this shit! The only reason Rossi is running is because the Washington GOP has nobody else to run for governor so they have to recycle yesterday's candidate. Who else are they going to get to run? Pam Roach???

4. I don't see why
Rossi doesn't have a picture of himself on those signs ,sitting in his brand new black SUV looking out the drivers side window at you smiling. You know one hand on the wheel and his other arm on the door ,of course the window is rolled down! The free wheeling sort of guy image.

Rossi sees those signs as a sign of the times yet he leaves his face out of it.

Or maybe he fears those urban artists!

5. Well it makes sense. Seattle is only 1 city. Republic is another.
Why should Seattle have more say than Republic does? :sarcasm:

6. Well having lived (not by choice!) in Republic from 1981-84....
I know how conservative it is and I know there are those there that will still vote against their own best interest. But as long as the gays can't get married. Anyway, population really does play a factor in all of this. Of course what will happen is Gregoire will win and a lot of the Drysiders will bitch and call for Eastern Washington to break away to start a new state. This always happens whenever they don't get their way in the elections.

Edited on Wed Jul-02-08 11:07 PM by Wash. state Desk Jet
Mystic of the unknown who works the county and state fairs! He predicted that eastern Washington will experience a black out before voting day. He went on to say ,those people will think Rossi is the reason the black out happened, but that comes after it is discovered that there is no reason to be found for why it occurred. Those people don't want hell or high water coming their way and so they will see it as a sign. That sign!

!DINO ! If you join Dino,Out Goes the Lights! No way on voting for those bad apples!

11. Yeah I remember that sign too.
It was from the local branch of the John Birch Society. Not sure if they are still around there in Republic but then again I have not set foot in Republic since 1991.

9. I actually voted for Rossi the first time around
And while I still don't like Gregoire, I am voting for her this time around because she is the only prominent politician in the state that supported Obama. Murray and Cantwell decided to go for Hillary.

The poster is correct, Gregoire will beat Rossi this time by a significant amount, it won't be even close.

10. Well
Edited on Fri Jul-04-08 03:21 AM by Wash. state Desk Jet
I would think that Murry and Cantwell just might go for that this time around. And does it really matter who Murry and Cantwell supported in the primaries? Is there a point to be made there?

12. The "other" side of he mountains
In Washington has always been red, for the most part. We are getting a lot of retirees from the coast, but still have a long way to go. What I found funny was that in 2004 many of the local orchardists around my area who are diehard republicans, had signs on their property saying vote for "Cantwell"! This was only because of the immigration issue, but it was funny as hell to me! Many of them even donated to her.

Yes, far to many people vote against their own best interest simply because they have been born and raised republican. My mother in law would never vote for a democrat no matter what. She don't even know who the people are on the ballot, but anyone with and R gets her vote.

I read an article: http://students.washington.edu/stc6/washington/seattle-attractions.html about Seattle and i want to visit it soon. Have you ever been there? Is it an nice place to go? I know it is a bit out of topic but you just made me think of it.

13. Well this time of the year
We get a lot of people from the coast coming over to the east side for vacations, and you can't miss these signs. Maybe someone will take a few of the signs home with them and put them up for old Rossi! :evilgrin:

14. As someone who lives in E. Washington ....
Every state wide election cycle I'm glad that Seattle "'steals"' the election. People around here are especially ignorant, and I always make a point of thanking (Blue) west-side voters who override the vote over here.

Oh and by the way... thanks for taking out Nethercutt for us... it is much appreciated=]

17. Spokane in areas west and south of downtown are blue
and getting bluer as more newcomers move here. I will get a chuckle one of these days if this area elects a Democrat to congress. The large number of freepers here will go nuts!
