Mike Briggs, hysterical girlie-man, dives face-first into the Moron Zone.

Briggs is a weird guy.

He's been working the CRC Scam like he's getting paid.

Like any of the other scammers, there's no lie, exaggeration, distortion or any other Chicken-Little scam he can to try and get anyone to believe him.

Fortunately our Senator in the 18th likely sees the Briggses of this district as the buffoons they are.

The latest effort from this slime?

  Sen. Rivers, Ann, frankly I am surprised at your attitude now. Politics is one thing but this is now a glaring safety problem. You and I both know a bridge should be able to withstand any kind of a collision with any kind of a truck crossing it. This points to the fact that either the design or the bridge itself is (was) not safe. NO ONE builds a bridge that is that fragile. You know this Senator.
  
  This only brings to the surface that our own I-5 bridge is old, is aging, and needs to be replaced. How many wake-up calls do we get Ann? The next time it could be our own bridge here.
  
  Please Ann, you are a sensible and caring person, put your politics on hold and agree to the CRC- so we can begin construction on our bridge.
  
  No, it is not a perfect deal Ann, but it is the deal we have before us now, and all it takes is you or one otber[sic] Senator to hold Safety over Politics. Be that leader Ann.
  
  You and I know one another personally Ann. I really think now is the time you put aside party politics and look toward the general welfare of all the people who use our own I-5 bridge on an every day basis and vote for the project so it can begin the process of a new bridge.
  
  I know Ann this is what I am looking for you to do now. If I were in your shoes...I would do this immediately. You can simply not risk lives over politics.
  
  Please take immediate action to protect us all Sen. Rivers.
  
  Thank you.

The lies are many and repeated.

Obvious to anyone with the IQ slightly above a rock ape is that the Skagit Bridge collapse, caused by an over-sized truck load taking out the super-structure of a bridge and causing its collapse,has absolutely NOTHING to do with the CRC.

But not to Briggs and his ilk.

OH MY GOD, REPLACE THE BRIDGE BY TUESDAY OR WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!

Ann, who was born on a Saturday, but not LAST Saturday, rejects Briggs' garbage out of hand.

If the bridge was unsafe, it would be closed right now.

Let me repeat that:

If the bridge was unsafe, it would be closed right now.

That it ISN'T closed is proof that it's not unsafe, Briggs' babble notwithstanding.

Further, that neither governor is concerned about the safety of the bridge, as proven by their "no light rail, no bridge" bullshit shows that Briggs' hysteria is not only misplaced, it's childish.  You REALLY don't think that either governor would risk the lives of dozens by allowing us use an unsafe bridge, do you?

Briggs obviously does.

Briggs is right about one thing:  Sen. Rivers IS a "sensible and caring person."  And like ANY "sensible and caring person," she's rejecting the kind of hysterical garbage Briggs and scum like Jim Moeller are troweling out.

BECAUSE Ann Rivers IS "sensible and caring," she does not want the decades long damage that slime lime Moeller and Briggs would inflict on us for decades to come with this utterly massive waste of billions of dollars.

But hysteria of the variety Briggs is exhibiting disqualifies him for any elective office.

And those of us wise enough to oppose this extortion will not be moved by whiny, crybaby crap that means nothing.

Sen. Rivers has done an exceptional job.  And she continues to earn the nickname that will stay with her forever:

The Bridge Killer.

Meanwhile, Briggs, I suggest if you want a communist to represent you in the legislature, you move to the 49th.  Any one of those 3 stooges will fix you right up.
