Almost Jim Weatherby

I'm reminded of something a former governor said. I can't remember which one. By golly, this is satire.

That curl in Little’s hair reminds me of my surfing days a long time ago. Pretty sure I caught a wave just like that in Waikiki in the 50s.

Have asked several servers and none of them are willing to bring me the martini I ordered.

Four best words heard in today’s forum, from Maxine Bell:
“I may run again.”
Be still, my heart.

Comment by speaker at City Club about “nasty tweets” was a low blow, I thought.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT for reporters listening to Little:
I left my tab open at Pengilly’s this morning.

Fun event last night. But getting Petcash off my sofa this morning was NOT pretty.

Thought I’d nabbed a plum seat at a table full of Bieter’s campaign staff. Am chagrined to discover they’re students from Borah High.

[Almost Jim Weatherby @Weatherbytes]

Planning dignified set of hoots.

[Almost Jim Weatherby @Weatherbytes]

Told Coles I wasn’t going to sit next to him. Did not go over well.

“No hooting” allowed at Boise mayoral forum, says moderator @whmanny. There goes my afternoon.

[Almost Jim Weatherby @Weatherbytes]

Stunned and disgusted.

So glad reporters are having a ball with Risch’s tantrum. Did THEY have to listen to the guy kvetching about it for hours? No. Thinking once again about changing my phone number.

Returning from summer hiatus, I am greeted by intern with this folderol in hand. Someone is out to get me.

[Almost Jim Weatherby @Weatherbytes]

Gave the intern his script for the annual prank call to Betsy, congratulating her for joining AARP. She usually loses it when he thanks her for buying the tote bag

Oh sure, everyone loves sine die, but they don’t have to clean up the mess left by lawmakers who think the end of the session means “party at Jim’s house.”

[Almost Jim Weatherby @Weatherbytes]

Spotted Moyle with a tape measure down in the Treasurer’s office. I hollered “Offices are for GROWN UPS” and skedaddled for the exits.

Now my phone won’t stop ringing.

[Almost Jim Weatherby @Weatherbytes]

It’s that point in the session where legislators are happiest to see me, especially if I’m toting a bottle of Glenfiddich.

[Almost Jim Weatherby @Weatherbytes]

Betsy got her appendix taken out, I see. This explains all the weird messages she’s been leaving on my answering machine. Have decided to save the tapes for posterity.

[Almost Jim Weatherby @Weatherbytes]

Criminy, it looks like the interns staged a coup at the Statesman.

[Almost Jim Weatherby @Weatherbytes]

Locked myself in my study with the shades drawn and told intern to knock when the so-called “Pundits Forum” was over.
That was this morning. Still here.
