In election struggle, Kerry rides again to Gregoire's aid

By PAUL SHUKOVSKY
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER

U.S. Sen. John Kerry lent his star power last night to a Washington state Democratic Party fund-raiser for Gov. Christine Gregoire as she battles in court to keep her job.

Snip...

Gregoire touted what she called "one of the most successful legislative sessions in history," which gave the state more money for education as well as a major transportation infrastructure plan. She introduced Kerry by crediting him "with leading the way to allow a recount" with his $250,000 donation.

Kerry spent most of his 10-minute extemporaneous speech slamming the national Republican Party's budget priorities.

But he prefaced his remarks by praising Gregoire, saying that he had been impressed ever since she was Washington's attorney general and played a key national role in winning a multibillion-dollar settlement for the states against the tobacco industry.

Thanks, Pro. Maybe if the "what did you do with my money, Kerry?!" crew had the stones to come in here once in a while, they would be inspired to STFU.

Ahem. Just had to get that out.
