(WA) Gov. Chris Gregoire's Whereabouts are Unknown [to Obama Commerce Dept.?]

KING-TV5 ^ | 5 January 2009

[Publius]

Gov. Chris Gregoire is out of state, but her office won't say where she is.

Gregoire was set to be the keynote speaker Tuesday at a pre-legislative session forum sponsored by The Associated Press, but her office canceled Monday afternoon. Legislative director Marty Brown will stand in for Gregoire at the forum.

Spokesman Pearse Edwards said that Gregoire will be making an announcement Tuesday morning, and that no further information would be released before then.

[Publius]

My guess is that Gregoire will replace Bill Richardson at Commerce. The bad news: Gregoire knows less of commerce than Richardson, except how to impeded it. The good news: Washington loses a recently re-elected bad governor (she beat Rossi for real this time).

If this happens, then under Washington law Lt. Gov. Brad Owen becomes Acting Governor in addition to holding his lieutenant governor's position, which makes him President of the State Senate. Then the Washington State Legislature schedules a special election to fill the remainder of Gregoire's term.

This could get interesting.

Of course, I could be wrong.

[sionnsar]

Say WA? Evergreen State ping

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this ping list.

Ping sionnsar if you see a Washington state related thread.

[FoxInSocks]

Probably been overseeing the recount in Minnesota.

[freekitty]

What we should be asking is why all of these odd appointments being made? What’s the connection between all of them?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Can’t 0bama please, please, PLEASE find a spot in his ‘0bamastration’ for my Governor, ‘Diamond Jim’ Doyle? (D, WI) He was in the running for US Attorney General...but he blew that, obviously.

Wisconsin is $4.5 billion in the hole...

In the words of W. Mark Felt, "Follow the money."

[Non-Sequitur]

The bad news: Gregoire knows less of commerce than Richardson, except how to impeded it.

Yeah but she has executive experience.

[RedQuill]

The connection? They are all leftist dingbats.

[verklaring]

Please take her, --no wait--, then she can ruin the country not just the state.

P.S. She is another baby-killer.

[jaz.357]

FBI files?

[Robwin]

Most likely she is in MN telling Smalley, “Yeah, you’ve done a good job of it, but let me tell you how I stole my election.”

[hoosiermama]

maybe she's being indicted too?

[pointsal]

Chrissy ..... is headed to Washington....

[Hoodat]

Looks like Obama is making himself look like a genius by surrounding himself with the most incompetent people he can find.

[muawiyah]

The connection is pretty obvious ~ none of them have an arrest record for dealing cocaine ~ which is probably a rare achievement with Democrats.

[Army Air Corps]

Could be.

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

[Publius]

She’s going to announce a huge load of federal pork for the Alaskan Way Viaduct project? They’re still trying to figure out the scope of the project. Now another tunnel is in the offing.

[MamaLucci]

What we should be asking is why all of these odd appointments being made? What’s the connection between all of them?

They are all under fed investigation and Cabinet Members can claim executive privilege??? Just sayin......

[sionnsar]

Chrissy ..... is headed to Washington....

Along with Ron Sims...?

[hoosiermama]

Or detox!

[Army Air Corps]

Should could have gotten lost.

[sionnsar]

Then the Washington State Legislature schedules a special election to fill the remainder of Gregoire's term.

If so and Dino decides to run, PLEASE let him get a different set of "handlers." The last election he was aloof and wooden, and his fundraisers were working overtime to drive me off with the persistent calls for money late in the campaign.

[sionnsar]

Or detox!

Doubt that.

[keepitreal]

Any possibility she’s gone underground to avoid prosecution like Rahm Emmanuel?

[nufsed]

What’s so odd about it? It’s totally predictable. Last week OB was criticized for not appointing more women to the cabinet.

[Publius]

Prosecution for what? Incompetence? That’s not a crime. Among Democrats, that’s a badge of honor.

[Baladas]

Oh, no. I would be really glad if Chrissy left the state, but that would be inflicting her on the rest of the country as well.

[JamesP81]

Gregoire was set to be the keynote speaker Tuesday at a pre-legislative session forum sponsored by The Associated Press, but her office canceled Monday afternoon. Legislative director Marty Brown will stand in for Gregoire at the forum.

Maybe she just wanted a day off?

[Red_Devil 232]

In a related note. Has anybody seen or heard from Rahm Emanuel? I wonder if Obambi has sent Henry Stanley to Africa to find him?

[mockingbyrd]

I can only hope.

[mcshot]

Sorry but “Diamond Jim” is behind “blown away” Granholm aka Grandtheft of Mi.

[keepitreal]

Is there nothing to the Indian tribe issue?

[volunbeer]

“”Looks like Obama is making himself look like a genius by surrounding himself with the most incompetent people he can find.””

No joke. At least we get rid of her but I can’t imagine what she brings to commerce besides left wing credentials.

She is a dud. Why is Obama scraping the barrel like this?

[BADROTOFINGER]

I thought for sure that Gregoire would be AG in the Hillary administration. Time changes things, but not all that much apparently...JFK

[SMCC1]

LOL

[sionnsar]

In a related note. Has anybody seen or heard from Rahm Emanuel?

I was just noting earlier how he suddenly disappeared...

[freespirited]

Gov. Chris Gregoire is out of state, but her office won't say where she is.

My guess would be having a face lift.

[freekitty]

That’s not what I am talking about. There’s a pattern here.

[freekitty]

Now, that’s what I am talking about. There is a connection or pattern. None of them seem to have experience in their chosen appointments.

[Army Air Corps]

I do try to amuse.

She may have gone out for a latte and couldn’t her her way back home.

[Red_Devil 232]

I heard that a guy named Stanley was sent to Africa to find him.

[Red_Devil 232]

I also heard Stanley was ordered to deliver a clasic message:

Mr. Rahm, I presume you know to much.

[balls]

"Why is Obama scraping the barrel like this?"

Because he has no friends. He's a loner. Axelrod pulls the strings.

[ShandaLear]

gawd, LOL!

[rockrr]

I don’t suppose that there’s any possibility that she’s been abducted by space aliens (or mexican ones for that matter ;’}

[JDoutrider]

If true...

Good riddance to BAD rubbish!

[They'reGone2000]

Sorry folks...
