No matter how much chocolate, nuts, and sprinkles that pols and pundits pour onto Washington state politics, the ice cream underneath is still bland-ass vanilla.The freshest scoop of nontroversy is Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Rob McKenna’s “free” rent-a-car that he gets from a campaign supporter.Pretty much every news organization in Seattle, and plenty beyond, have now written about the Honda Pilot that McKenna drives around for free, courtesy of Bellevue Honda, one of his campaign’s supporters.The rental is filed as an in-kind political contribution and there’s nothing illegal about it. The problem, critics say, is that McKenna also regulates the auto industry, so he shouldn’t be accepting a dime from anyone who has any business related to autos.This, of course, is ridiculous. Politicians and top law enforcers, by their very nature, can oversee huge swaths of the private sector, so asking that they not take any money from agencies that they may someday make decisions concerning is to ask that they take very little money from anyone.McKenna also regulates the medical industry (or, at least he tries to–see: health-care-reform lawsuit) so he probably shouldn’t have taken this $2,700 donation from Dr. Howard Maron of Seattle Medical Associates.And Jay Inslee, McKenna’s main Democratic opponent, sits on Congress’ Energy and Commerce Subcommittee, where he’s bragged mightily about his work in legislating a way for unused television bandwidth to be used to make faster wireless Internet. Perhaps then he shouldn’t have taken this $1,600 donation from Microsoft executive Peter Amstein. This list goes on and on. King County Councilmen Bob Ferguson and Reagan Dunn, a Democrat and Republican, respectively, and both vying for McKenna’s job as AG, both have received contributions from auto dealerships.Hell, Gov. Chris Gregoire, had the same “free” rental-car deal as McKenna when she was AG.This didn’t stop Democratic Party Chair Dwight Pelz yesterday from hosting a press conference about the car while standing in front of a friggin’ Honda Pilot.The entire affair reeks of desperation in trying to find anything mildly scandalous to talk about instead of, God forbid, the issues.Whether Rob McKenna drives around in a second-rate Japanese SUV provided by a supporter or Jay Inslee gets free foot massages from Teamsters Local 117 President John Scearcy isn’t that important. What is important is which candidate has the better plan for creating jobs, improving health care, and fixing the state’s education system (along with just about everything else in Washington).All the other stuff is just cheap toppings piled high in an attempt to make Washington Politics taste a tad more interesting for the next 15 months.Follow The Daily Weekly on Facebook and Twitter.
