| Description | State Sen. Pam Roach shows no signs of backing away from her claim that her expulsion from the Senate Republican Caucus -- a story The Seattle Times broke last week -- is part of a vindictive plot against her by GOP leaders.
Call it the Butt-In-The-Face defense.
A guest on The Dave Ross Show (97.3 KIRO-FM) Monday morning, Roach repeatedly tried to steer the conversation back to a 2008 incident in which she says Senate Minority Leader Mike Hewitt, R-Walla Walla, yelled at her and stuck his rear end in her face.
Senate Republican Whip Dale Brandland, R-Bellingham, appeared on the Ross show to offer a, um, rebuttal.
Roach came back on the show back after Brandland and attacked his statements.
She returned again to the 2008 incident, saying Hewitt had also yelled at another senator at the meeting. She also claimed that Senate employees actually have more power than she does, since they can file lawsuits. "If anybody has the advantage here it's the employee who can file things," she said.
Ross cut her off and went to a commercial break. But Roach wasn't finished, apparently.
After the break, Ross came back and announced the senator had verbally abused his own staff. |
