Title says it all. I'm sure this will turn out well; Jesus H. Christ...No corruption down on the docks, that's for sure.  http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/ ... rtxml.htmlAlso, in case that first one's not enough, Queen Christine also gave her daughter a seat on the board of trustees for Seattle Community Colleges last November. No nepotism there.I think the Port of Seattle might be give New Jersey's mafia a run for its money in terms of corruption.

You are aware that Jay Inslee is the governor now, right?

Ooooh, first she got the coveted BoT for SCC!
Now she has the even more coveted $46k Port Commissioner job!
Hell of a job for a 33 year old Harvard educated, ex Microsoft lawyer.

God knows there's no way they might be doing each other favors or anything, surely! This changes everything!

Hell of a job for a 33 year old Harvard educated, ex Microsoft lawyer. Most political type jobs don't pay that well to do the work itself, but it's what you make after you complete the job and have doled out political favors is why jobs like this are coveted. Seriously, you should know better

Then the leap from there to being worthy of being the candidate to win it. Also, did you miss the part about how she gave her own daughter a Seattle Community Colleges board seat? You think it's about accusations with no proof? How about implied accusations based on past factual history? Gimme a fuckin' break, razor.

If your mother was Governor and you were "qualified" for a position you would certainly apply.

Most people don't know he was born Nicolas Coppola, nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, and that he changed his name because he wanted to make it on his own. I moved out from living with my parents when I was 17. I'm not a fan of handouts; but I get why most people are.

I'm sure Mr. Cage didn't benefit from his Uncle at all. Lol.
I'm not a fan of handouts, neither were my parents. But when you have connections you use them.

My only point is that I've seen worse "appointments". At least she has some credibility.

Of course I've seen many worse appointments, nobody's claiming this is some new level of corruption; but I'm honestly curious, what credibility does she have? What has she done? She has no Wikipedia page entry, and everything on Google for her name is just the stuff already linked here.
