Washington State Republicans elect Susan Hutchison to be their new chair through 2014

1. She'll be the perfect figurehead to lead the WA GOP into a well-deserved oblivion.

The Seattle Times mentioned her work on the board of The Discovery Institute. They called it a 'think tank', when in reality is it a 'don't think - just believe!' tank that's trying to get creationism into the science curriculum. They failed to mention the way she exited her job at KIRO - when things started going downhill, she called in 'sick' then was caught out boating and having a grand old time.

When she ran for King County Executive she kept stressing that it was a non-partisan office, but she didn't manage to fool enough people into voting for her.

She's still bitter about Dino Rossi losing to Chris Gregoire...calling it fraud, when the only documented fraud was on her side of the aisle (which lost Dino another 4 votes, even with the hand-picked judge they had!)

Her main skill seems to be cold-reading a teleprompter and smiling while she gives everybody bad news.

(At least the WA GOP is modernizing a little bit - the prior head was Kirby Wilbur, a radio host. They have moved a little further into the 20th century and got someone from TV this time! Maybe next time they'll select a blogger.)
