Is it April 1st? No.
Seattle’s famous gay Dan Savage announced on The Stranger blog that he is running for Seattle Mayor.
Disturbed by the opposition:
I’ve had it with Peter and Tim and and Nick and Richard pansy-assing around about running for mayor. They announce they’re thinking about it, they think about it, and then they announce that running for mayor is just too scary or too expensive or that Greg is just too formidable an opponent. Christ, do these guys have one lonely little nut between the four of ’em?
If he wins he plans to resign after 24 hours:
Now I don’t think I’m qualified to be mayor either and I’m a bit of a loon too. But here’s the crucial difference between me and Al Runte: I know I’m not qualified to be mayor. Another difference: I don’t want to be mayor. That’s why my entire platform is this: If elected I pledge to resign the office of mayor 24 hours after I’m sworn in.
I guess we have yet to learn how serious he really is.
The announcement is here.
The Facebook group is already growing here.
“…and then they announce that running for mayor is just too scary or too expensive or that Greg is just too formidable an opponent. Christ, do these guys have one lonely little nut between the four of ’em?”
But then he says he’d resign in 24 hours. Dan dearest, where’s your balls?
What a hypocrite, but so what else is new. No wonder the gay community rejected him 10 years ago…
ho hum …. grandstanding for attention
Remember the Sranger couldn’t get S. Pure elected … and sharked on Jamie Petersen to the max.
Dan is now using all the hyper mac. words of the straight boys ….. balls …. eating someones ass … you are a douche bag, an insult based on feminine cleaning needs … it is interesting to see him go over the edge so much these days…
I trust Greg Nickels far more than Dan Savage, for sure.
