If there’s a putz convention in Washington State this year, we’d like to suggest a Pierce County resident as their keynote speaker. It would be a plus if golf was involved. From the Political Buzz:
Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna and challenger John Ladenburga Democrat, clashed on just about every subject under the sun Thursday during a lively 60-minute debate.
Ladenburg picked up where he left off during their first debate last week in Gig Harbor, criticizing McKenna for having a thin resume and failing to protect Washington consumers.
McKenna hit back more forcefully than he did in their first exchange, defending his own experience by saying, “I think John is the only person in the state that doesn’t believe being attorney general of the state of Washington for four years is a qualification to run for attorney general.”
McKenna also took shots at Ladenburg, the two-term Pierce County executive, for failing to win his own county in the August primary election.
