Spin Control

The plate on the bus goes round and round


Scandalous news from Washington's gubernatorial campaign Thursday.

You know that biodiesel bus that Gov. Chris Gregoire is driving around the state for her campaign kickoff, including for her stop Wednesday in Spokane? Well it's got -- wait for it, wait for it

Oregon license plates.

OMG as people much younger than Spin Control's author would say.

The Washington State Republican Party sleuthed out this fact, and sent out photographic confirmation late Thursday.

State GOP Chairman Luke Esser's condemnation was swift, as was the counter punch from the Gregoire campaign.
