Inslee's 1st CD Mess Hits NY Times

The mess Jay Inslee left in Washington's 1st Congressional District, timing his retirement so no one could fill his spot in a special election before November, is the subject of a New York Times article this morning. Interestingly, the article doesn't really say how this happened, or discuss Inslee's role in it.

1. Pudge, if Inslee had resigned earlier requiring a separate special election just for this interim seat, you'd be complaining about the waste of money.

2. tes: False.

It might make you feel proud of yourself to make up lies about me, but it doesn't make you look good.

3. pudge: It is not a lie. It is tes' opinion. There is a difference you know.

4. @3 - Pudge said the opinion was false, but when someone claims they said something that the other person never said, that is a LIE.
Your critical thinking skills are impaired like every other liberal progressive I've known or read.

Bryan Suits predicted two years ago, before the 2010 election that Inslee would run for governor, when he would not admit it at the time.

5. KDS @4. Before you go off on someones critical thinking skills, please point out where tes stated that pudge had said something?

6. Hutz: tes said I would have done something. It was something I would NOT have done, so therefore, it was a lie.

"Opinion" and "lie" are not orthogonal, and "it's my opinion" is the desperate cry of the truly dishonest.

7. Hey choo-choo brain @3: You'll be molesting little boys and animals within a year. Just my opinion, not a lie.

8. I think you could shorten it to just:

9. Uh oh---looks like DelBene's got a scandal brewing from her very recent days as Head TaxWoman---seems her Department of Revenue was perhaps doing favors for rich Democrat donors and helping them avoid paying big $$ taxes on their personal property.

"Pattern of Favorable Treatment for Well-Connected Taxpayers"

Pudge, how about a post on this story?

10. Or how about Inslee's record on crony capitalism? The Seattle Times mentions how he invested in a solar company and then proceeded to direct massive taxpayer subsidies to the industry, but leaves the part about any conflict of interest until the very end.

11. "tes said I would have done something. It was something I would NOT have done, so therefore, it was a lie."

Ummm... No. Or at least, not in common use of the English language.

A lie is not merely an untruth. It is an untruth with the intent to deceive.

Your reckless flinging of the word lie at anyone who merely disagrees with you is precisely why you've become a verb, pudge. "Don't pudge me, bro!"

12. Laszlo: Ummm... No.

Yes, actually.


Or at least, not in common use of the English language.

False.


A lie is not merely an untruth. It is an untruth with the intent to deceive.

Not necessarily. It is also saying something with a reckless disregard for truth or falsity.

If I say you murdered someone last night, I do not know it is an "untruth." I know, however, that I have no way of knowing whether it's true, and that I say it with intent for people to believe it makes it a lie.

That's what tes did. They told a very clear lie.
