“Wicked Witch of the West of the Park”

Today is the final reading on the Fiscal 2009 Budget Support Act, which includes the language closing part of Klingle Road NW for a bike path.

And, just to make sure we wrap all this up on a classy note, this just appeared in LL’s inbox, from the Coalition to Repair and Reopen Klingle Road:

LL called up anti-Klingle pro-Klingle Road leader Laurie Collins and asked if she was responsible for the Photoshopping. Said Collins, “Am I gonna get sued?” To that, LL advised that this seems to qualify as fair use parody. But on second thought, Mary Cheh is a law professor….

UPDATE, 2:35 P.M.: LL mistakenly referred to Collins as “anti-Klingle.” He now awaits his own Photoshop treatment.

    That Laurie Collins…nothing but class, class, class, class, class.

  2. Skipper Says:

    Does that make Laurie Collins the brainless scarecrow?

  3. China Says:

    Great humor and quite appropriate. Good job Laurie.

  4. Bill Says:

    We all know Laurie has class–and she’s a hotty! This is hilarious and certainly all in good fun.

  5. Eric Says:

    That is hilarious. There’s nothing wrong with a little parody now and then. Good work Laurie! Now let’s re-open that road.

  6. About Time Says:

    interesting to note that the loquacious LC is usually the one in a black dress. she is no less fetching than CM cheh. surely a fat lady is singing somewhere. now everyone can get busy finding something more important to be for or against - like who is going to run the country. glad to see common sense won the day on klingle valley. may it rest in peace.
