Spencer: I Was Right About BCommish, So There

Spen-sah: Remember when DFO gave me such a hard time when I advocated removing these two clowns from office? He thought that my two picks for commissioners seats were not in the best interests of Bonner county. I took the heat from quite a few friends, but many have since decided that I was probably right to push for different commissioners. These two are now costing Bonner County any credibility at Boise, and are being mocked in legal circles as the “yahoos up North.” They are beginning to make Gus Johnson look like a brain surgeon by comparison.

Thom George: Spencer, I agree that the BC Commissioners don't look good with this stunt, but the fact that they are bad, doesn't equate to "your picks" being good.

DFO: Thom's right. Despite how bad BC commissioners look to some (but not to others) for their valuation stunt, Repub nominee Bud Mueller is worse. Mebbe the worst commissioner in my 22 years in North Idaho. You have no room at all to brag here, Larry. I'd still pick the two sitting commissioners over the ones who won and that you endorsed.
