Here comes John Kitzhaber. And he is honest: “I’d like to believe all of you came out here to chat with me, but …”
Kitz opened with a focus on the midterm national elections, but quickly started in with subtle shots at Chris Dudley, something about “empty rhetoric.”
“It’s clear our only pathway to a prosperous and sustainable future requires a willingness challenge the ways we’ve done business in the past.”
Not that his own stumping lasted long. It was a totally short speech. He ripped through a short list of President Obama’s accomplishments and this place just went FUCKING BONKERS, to the sweet tunes of U2.
