Report from the Tim Eyman Wake

Tim Eyman—whose tax-slashing Initiative 1033 seemed to be losing as of tonight’s 8:15 pm vote drop—had already taken over the lobby of the Bellevue Hyatt when Publicola arrived. Eyman was surrounded by a gaggle of supporters, who clapped, cheered and hung on his every word. Meanwhile, a woman on the edge of the circle was engaged in a fierce argument with an Eymanite. “Ten years later, we’ll be fucked by this,” the woman said. A short, bald man, looking like he’d already had this argument about a billion times, kept repeating that Eyeman is “all about the process.”

    How can I say this politely . . .

    Suck it, Eyman!

    Eyman,

    It’s either to shut up, and go away.

    Even in a horrible economy no one wants anything to do with your “government spending needs to be wrangled in” garbage.

    Oh, and I agree with Michael G. And he said it as politely as it can be stated.

    We need an initiative that limits initiative-financing,and it should be referred to as the Sugar Daddy Initiative. $1000 individual donation limit for initiatives only, to keep clear of the bulk of the campaign financing controversies.
