The Washington state Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a petition to recall embattled Spokane Mayor James E. West can proceed.

Shannon Sullivan, an unemployed mother, filed the petition in May, shortly after The Spokesman-Review newspaper in Spokane published articles detailing how West had met men online for sex.

West's attorneys argued that the petition bearing a single abuse-of-office charge was factually and legally insufficient.

3. did he honestly think that this whole thing wouldn't come out

pardon the pun, sooner or later

I have to wonder if there is some unconscience desire on the part of these closet cases to get busted and be forced out so they don't have to come out on their own like the rest of us

4. I totally think so...

It's kind of a passive-aggressive, cowardly way of doing it.
