NW Progressive:
Not only is Dave Reichert an ineffective congressman, but he has a twisted sense of humor, as the Tacoma News Tribune’s Niki Sullivan reports:
Right now, U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert is up. He repeated a joke I first heard him tell at the Pierce County Republicans’ Lincoln Day breakfast earlier this year. It involves an airplane that’s going to crash, one fewer parachute than passengers and, ultimately, Hillary Clinton dying.
It sounds, as David Goldstein observes, like an unoriginal, crass schoolyard joke I used to hear all the time from classmates when I was younger and attending elementary school. [..] The punch line relies on the assumption that the adult in question is stupid.
Now, Reichert or anybody else can argue that Hillary Clinton is ambitious, or stubborn, or shameless, but she is certainly not dumb.
To her credit, she’s exceptionally sharp and calculating in addition to being determined… and that has carried her a very long way.
Joking about the death of one of the two Democrats seeking the presidency, if not inappropriate, is certainly not classy, and is further evidence that Dave Reichert himself does not have good judgment.
Perhaps this is because he isn’t truly invested in his job.
He doesn’t work hard on Capitol Hill, his campaign is ambling or meandering along at a lazy pace, and he’s frequently careless with his choice of words. Last cycle his campaign finished with a condescending, sexist TV ad.

This might seem cruel but it's fact. A plot to kill FDR, success in killing JFK, Bobby and Dr. King all done with the support of the United States Government. So with all this talk about killing Obama and Hillary don't think it can't happen in America. Pakistan President get his job by a coup so why not the Republican Party. Yes Americans like to think their above that conduct but the facts speak for themselves. When Bill Clinton was President and helping all Americans live a better life most of us prayed he would be assassinated like the other Leaders who tried to make American better for all. There's always a wing nut out there to do what is asked as was Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, James Earl Ray and the hired hit men who killed JFK. Look were see how the Middle East people are willing to blow themselves up right. What you need to read is how the 9/11 bombers were rewarded by their families now living a very rich life as they were paid for there attack. One could ask where did the money come from since most were from Saudi Arabia well take a look at the US National Debt and you'll see where it came from. We paid people to kill and we paid those innocent people we kill big bucks. So before you think about how bad the Middle East is by hiring killers look first in your own back yard because the USA does the same thing. We just use God and Religion to cover up our evil.
