Washington supreme court greenlights lies during campaigns


Back in 99' the Washington legislature apparently passed a law prohibiting politicians from lying about opponents during campaigns. The Washington supreme court has now overturned that law citing free speech concerns.

I suspect Washington campaigns will become a lot more interesting now.

"My opponent has a wide stance"

"Perhaps, but you have a family of gerbils packed up your ass and your jacuzzi is filled with Crisco."

"My opponent has $90,000 in graft money stashed in his freezer"

"Perhaps, but you have the severed limbs of 10 hobos stashed in yours"

Sorry about the WA/AK mixup
