Yeah, I like seeing that. I am actually familiar with Reichert due to my interest in serial killer history. I believe he was the guy who caught Gary Ridgway, the Green River killer so he has my respect for that.

Reichert did NOT catch the green river killer at all, that is myth that he has helped perpetuate for a long long time. He swooped in after and took the credit and made sure to get as many photos as he could with ridgeway and rode that into the House of Representatives. I am in his area, and he is actually suffering from some pretty severe brain injuries due to being hit with a tree branch and many many people have been wondering if he is okay or not anymore. There is serious questions about his cognitive skills.

What Gulianni is to 911 (noun,verb,911) Reichert is to GreenRiver (noun,verb Green River) except he had almost nothing to do with the capture at all.

Maybe we need to hit the rest of the republicans in the head with tree branch and knock some sense into them as well.

Reichert represents an affluent (and white) and very right-wing district and it is stunning he keeps getting re-elected because he really has never done anything as a Rep.
