U.S. Rep. Brian Baird said today he'll hold a town-hall meeting in Olympia at the end of the week, giving local residents their first chance to quiz him about his position in support of keeping U.S. troops in Iraq longer. The event is at 7 p.m. Friday evening at Capital High School on Olympia's west side. Baird is under increasing fire from anti-war critics, who plan their own town hall meeting in Vancouver on Thursday evening. The anti-Baird meeting is at Fort Vancouver High in Vancouver.
Baird is a weird, smart, and manipulative politician. He thinks that pretending to listen while holding firm on supporting Bush will matter to his constituents.
If you live in Vancouver, let him know it doesn't.
