Idaho Sen. Larry Craig may be the most despised politician in America. But in Seattle, the most reviled figure in politics must be Tim Eyman, the king of Washington initiatives. So there was much surprise in the editorial Sunday in The Seattle Times endorsing Eyman's latest measure, Initiative 960, which would make it more difficult for state government to raise taxes. "We think it would have a wake up effect on legislators," said the editorial. Curiously, the editorial made no mention of Eyman himself. It may be a case of loving the sin but not the sinner.
Now, who wrote that initiative you're endorsing?
