P-I takes aim at Rossi again for cowardice

In a brief snippet you'll find only in today's print edition of the Seattle Times/Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the P-I editorial section had this brief clip chastising Rossi for his cowardice:
A lot of the energy that put the gas-tax repeal measure, Initiative 912, before voters came from frustrated Dino Rossi supporters, who wanted to exact revenge on Governor Christine Gregoire for her narrow victory over the Republican a year ago. What leadership did the piously positive Rossi provide when the constructive solution to transportation troubles faced repeal? He shut his mouth, effectively winking at the attempted kneecapping of Gregoire, and wrote a book titled: "Dino Rossi: Lessons in Leadership, Business, Politics, and Life." It's hyped as "a great holiday gift." For the hypocritically inclined?
Well said. We couldn't have put it any better. If Rossi runs for political office again, we won't be letting anyone forget about his cowardice on this important issue. We suspect the P-I editorial board won't be forgetting, either.
