Lars Larson: The NW freak show

By Lars Larson
NW and national radio host,

Do you ever wish the freak show of Northwest politics would just stop.

Consider the most recent examples from Oregon and Washington.

A new Clackamas county commissioner indicted for eight felonies in an alleged fraud against an elderly man. Melissa Fireside has thankfully resigned.

In Washington state a politician who, I kid you not, describes himself as “(Jessica Ann Roberts) “A bisexual trans woman with itty bitty (blanks) and a big girl (boy part).” who makes money on the side with an “Only Fans” account. Now I had to clean that up a LOT for the radio. Jessica Ann now has a spot on the Lynwood city council.

And then consider the region’s history. A child rapist former Governor. Another Governor forced to resign after his grifter girlfriend peddled influence.

One of Portlandia’s former Mayor’s chased a teenage boy around the legislature till the boy turned legal age before bedding him.

Congressman David Wu, who liked cavorting around in a tiger costume, resigned after being accused of sexually assaulting the daughter of a friend.

All of them members of the Democrat Party, of course, which has double standards or it would have none at all.

It is any wonder that the serious problems of the region don’t get addressed when

so many in elected office seem to be thinking with something other than the head between their ears.
