I'm thinking Jasun might have a tad bit of difficulty raising funds next time out. If he doesn't, well, we told whomever gave him money many a time.

Does anyone not want Columbia Sportswear and Tonkin all of a sudden? recall the recallers?

I'm always just $1 away from having $1,000,000.

Those photos of owls were decidedly not cute. I'm ashamed for you.

Wow they use joomla. Talk about scary CMS's. Ya'll have no idea what I'm talking about, but in the IT security community we actually count days when there AREN'T holes in this product or it's multiple add-ons. Swiss cheese!

I think that Jasun's letter was more fun.

Wursty went rogue on his own people? To pitch for his girlyfriend? Oh how far the mighty have fallen.

Agree with Graham. Owls are weird and sort of creepy, not cute.

The owls are cute as hell, guys. RECALL AVEL GORDLY AND GRAHAM'S OPINION OF OWLS

These owls are cute.

Like Gordly after saying Sam's the biggest scandal in the city, Graham has jumped the shark.

Why is everything always being ruined "due to the economy and other factors". Stupid "the economy and other factors"! Argh!

Could it be that Wurstass actually prevented all the lame work he did this summer from being co-opted?

Fuck it. It is more fun to flog that looser for having the aduacity for standing up to the status quo.

Come on BlogTownies, let's see who can get this weeks 'Gold Star' with the most witty put down of Jasun Whatever?

Hmmm, Jasun Wurster based his whole campaign on integrity and transparency. He then put an unauthorized plug for his girlfriend on the recall website for her city council bid so he could ride on her coattails. (His admitted goal was to be in office within 5 years). So, Jasun, tell me again about integrity? The hypocrisy is strong in this one.

I used to respect Jasun Wurster. Really - search through my comment history on here if you don't believe me. I didn't agree with him that the 'offences' were recall-worthy, but he seemed like he had the right motives.

Not any more. As time has gone on, it has become more and more apparent that he's just a bad loser, whose increasing desperation is matched only by his decreasing grasp on reality. The wannabe King Arthur has turned into King Canute.

Did the campaigning change him? Or is it just his true colors showing through? We'll never know. But what we do know is that rarely has one person gone so quickly from being an object of respect to an object of ridicule.

Wait. When was he "an object of respect"?

I'm not even go to slam you for calling a person an object. I'm magnanimous like that.

I'm objectifying you, kiala.
