4. Thanks Stefan for keeping these folks honest. I enjoyed your contribution to King Sims fraudcast this morning. It'll be fun to hear you on Ross' program and the callers you get to educate.

Posted by: Mark on February 9, 2005 02:17 PM

5. Maybe you can ask if Sims and Logan learned math in our wonderful public schools?

Posted by: Ken on February 9, 2005 03:02 PM

6. WOW!

The Shark invited onto the Dave Ross show (The one time I won't want to miss it)!

Hmmm, something is suspicious here...

... like maybe good ol' Dave hurting for ratings?

Posted by: EricR on February 9, 2005 03:29 PM

7. Even Stefan being on there can't erase the stink of Dave Ross. I removed KIRO from the buttons on my car radio months ago.

Of course, I puked yesterday when I turned on John Carlson and heard Kirstin the Genius, Ken Schram and the rest. I'm getting nauseous just thinkin about it again...

8. Go get 'em Stefan! I can't wait to hear Ross cringe & sqirm!

9. SnoCoVoter-
Fear not!!
Depositions will hopefully start next week.
Rather than discourage folks like Schram, Brost, Berendt, Logan, Sims & others from speaking, we MUST do the opposite. They will meltdown into a stinking, steamy dung heap in the end. Watch!
Give them a mike, a platform and encourage them to speak!!! Stefan goaded Sims & Logan into this press conference. They truly thought they could explain this away. Logan is an idiot. He was corralled into participating with Sims...don't ever doubt that.
Sims will set Logan up for the fall.
Logan will look just like the old Eskimo Granny as her children put her on an icefloat and push her out to sea.

We still have weeks of depositions and further evidence gathering. The Dems are screwed. Just watch them start appealing stuff to delay the inevitable. Remember that mouthy broad Brost telling us to watch who files the appeals to see who won last Friday? Let's see what happens. The R's could easily file but...who knows. The Dems have painted themselves into another corner.
Let the depositions begin!!

10. Anyone who has been through a deposition, and has not got their stories together, had better watch out. I want to see all the counters and the canvassing board explain the changes of procedures many times during the counting, and the illegal remarking of ballots obsuring the individuals original choices explained there. I just hav eto go wathc these folks in court, it will be a treat! Especiall Dean Logan! Maybe Ron Sims can come and tell the court what a model election it was... YEEEEEEHHHHHHHHAAAAAAA

11. "recount of Ron Sims' morning press conference"

Recount... no pun intended I suppose..;-)

12. Nice job Stephan, although Dave did his best to fillibuster through most of the interview.

Posted by: Rich on February 9, 2005 05:57 PM

13. You did a nice job in spite of Dave Ross. And his ratings were above basement level for at least five minutes....so your good deed is done for the week.

Posted by: christmasghost on February 9, 2005 06:06 PM

14. Dave Ross was cock sure that he had you on bank mistakes. It was obvious he was a little afraid of you
because he scheduled you for the very end of his show.
Great job Stephen. Ross is a certified Adam

15. Mr. Cynical: "Sims will set Logan up for the fall."

I think this looks like the case. Whether Logan decides to fall on his sword, or is pushed (most likely) it will probably happen. There has to be a "fall guy," and Logan seems like a good choice by Sims, et al to take the blame.

16. Dave Ross was too happy to declare that Ron Sims' 'accuracy percentage' was comparable for banks and for King County's election board. Of course it isn't, despite his circumlocutions - banks don't come up missing $2 per thousand at the end of each days transactions and stay in business. His 'statistics' about banks A and B and C were unclear, untraceable and unconvincing.

He should have been reminded strongly that in an election, there's no slush fund of spare votes [not even in King County?...Ed.] waiting to rectify the bad transactions, so the County must take its responsibilities to the voters far more seriously than his bogus banks do their depositors. The County might be forgiven thirty or forty mystery ballots, but not 1800. Stefan was right, that other counties do a far better job at the whole business.

And he parroted the Dems talking point about 'no proven fraud' (one of Paul Barendt's favorites), BEFORE THE EVIDENCE HAS EVEN BEEN SUBMITTED AND EXAMINED. Let him try again after discovery, and listen to that plummy voice do double backflips trying to cover its tracks.

17. Any bank that isn't 100%, will cease being my bank. Ditto for county exec's.

18. Ross is nothing but a spokeman for the liberal screeds and political profanity that bellows from the liberal elites in this state.

Posted by: ray on February 9, 2005 07:11 PM

19. As an ex-Washingtonian I was unable to hear the interview, but based on Shark's appearance with Brit Hume, I have no doubt he was the high water mark of Dave's show for today. I do hear his two-minute CBS feature, and it seems to me that he's consistently been drunk on the Kool-Aid ever since he officially outed himself by running for Congress as a Democrat. Too bad. I used to think the world according to Dave Ross was a fascinating place. Now, its just plain kooky.

20. I never did buy the "Hi, I'm Dave Ross and I'm soooo an independent voice."

Give me a break! Ron Sims tried that one in '94 as a US Senate candidate and went nowhere.

Posted by: Michele S on February 9, 2005 08:00 PM

21. The longer I see Sims in operation, the more he seems to be channeling the Alderman Brown character out of Barbershop 2. Smarmy, entirely political and self-serving. It would be funny if it were fiction, rather than him simply uttering fiction while he has a reality based job waiting for him.

You can just imagine Logan walking out to the car today, muttering, "Last time I'm meetin' with Sims in public..."

Pretty unclear whether he'll last long enough to have a second opportunity.

22. It was obvious he was a little afraid of you
because he scheduled you for the very end of his show.

To be fair to Dave Ross -- I didn't sense that he was afraid of me and it wasn't his idea to schedule me for the very end of his show. His producer initially asked me if I could be on at 4 or 5. I had a prior commitment until 5:15 and agreed to be on at 5:30.

Posted by: Stefan Sharkansky on February 9, 2005 09:28 PM

23. which king county elections employee is being promoted to the Gov's office?
Or should I say which 9?
9 different places
9 different times

and isn't Ross quite the little fact checker.

24.
Off topic, but I don't know where else to put it. For all of you in the Spokane area, the KREM news report tonight said CG would be in Spokane tomorrow (Thurs). No times given, but they mentioned planned appearances at Fairchild AFB and the Davenport, among others I couldn't hear because my kids were talking.

I hope she's greeted with all due respect (which isn't much).

26. I just CAN'T get enough of that audio clip of people laughing at Simms! It cracks me up everytime I think about it!

Posted by: Bad Bob on February 10, 2005 07:16 AM

27. Moscow Mark,

According to the Spokesman-Review
"Gregoire to keynote Thursday meeting"
4:00pm, Davenport Hotel, hosted by The Spokane Area Economic Development Council.
She will discuss "statewide economic development
strategies." That must mean taxes, right?

A trip to Fairchild AFB is included.
Let the "Healing (or Heeling) Tour" begin!

I only live 70 miles away, wish I could attend in an orange suit, but I can't.

28. Sims said "More than 4,000 elections workers counted nearly 900,000 ballots"

that is 225 ballots each.
hmm, how long did that take?

Posted by: chardonnay on February 10, 2005 10:09 AM

29. Dave Ross is Ron Sims' poodle, an annoying little mutt with a loud and annoying bark. Sharks eat poodles that dogpaddle into deep water.

To extend the metaphor, Ross builds straw dogs and straw men (he's too feminized to construct straw women, ergo his sycophancy to Christine Gregoire, noted elsewhere) so he can knock them down and impress his Seattle-lite audience.

Will be a different story when he swims with the Shark, or tries to jump it, but beware: When Mr. Sharkansky builds a stonewall argument, Ross will shift the debate or discussion to straw, then he'll huff & puff. That's what he does best.

30. >>Sims said "More than 4,000 elections workers >>counted nearly 900,000 ballots"
>>

>>hmm, how long did that take?

LOL! Man, had to pick myself up off the floor with that one!

Then throw in:

>>Sims said "...he's asking me about numerators >>and denominators" and looked confused when the >>question was asked.

Seems math isn't one of Sims' strong points.

Guess I should laugh too hard, it's not mine either ;-)
