Dwight Pelz Jumps the Shark

Chris Grygiel dutifully reports on State Democratic Chairman Dwight Pelz’s latest attempts to advise former Republican gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi at the SeattlePI.com today:

Pelz said politicians shouldn’t go to controversial conferences because, by doing so, they set themselves up for the type of criticism Rossi is now getting from Democrats.

“You don’t do that. Politicians don’t go to averse meetings,” Pelz said.

Right. So if Rossi or any other Republican just took Dwight’s advice, he wouldn’t criticize them.

Now, about the larger issue here, which is Patty Murray and the State Democrat’s attempt to tap into anti-Wall Street populism (the DSCC has been shopping this as a “Rossi teaches you how to profit from other people’s misery” event).

Number one, that anti-Wall-Street populism stuff is Maria Cantwell’s territory these days. Back off.

Number two, doesn’t Dwight have more pressing concerns, than what charity fundraisers private-citizen Dino Rossi decides to throw his star power behind?

Like, you know, finding some way to paper over the fact that Patty Murray has taken nearly half a million dollars from Wall Street bankers (but still only half of what Barack Obama raked in from the same sector).
