Spokane, WA, mayor Jim West was ousted from office today.

West, a Republican who served in the state legislature was known as a "blunt-spoken conservative who opposed gay-friendly legislation."

This past spring, West was found to have been cruising gay chat room looking for men and allegedly offered one a job.

And today this champion of Conservatism and family values was recalled as Mayor.

Thank god.

Yes, I'm happy he's not mayor anymore. He's a hypocrite. Says one thing, does another. He was one who supported a bill that would have made it illegal (I believe) for a homosexual to work in schools and daycares with small children.

Good luck, Jim. I hope you find out who you are. Sorry that you wont be running for governor of Washington. (Not really.) But I betcha we'll be seeing a book deal come of this.
