Get this: Failed presidential candidate John Kerry feels so much kinship for failed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Christine Gregoire that he’s forking over at least $200,000 from his campaign funds to help her drag out the Washington state election.

Details at Sound Politics. And a hat tip to Washington state blogger Emcee, who writes:

OK, this makes me so *&%%^& angry, I could spit. What is it, Kerry couldn’t create a national constitutional crisis so he’s having to make do with creating one for the state of Washington? The Dems probably couldn’t raise the entry fee for the hand recount request without getting this.

I don’t know if it’s legal to give funds that were raised for presidential campaign costs for a state recount effort – but I know that it’s certainly unethical. It isn’t the purpose to which his donors made their contributions. Oh, that’s right, he doesn’t care: it’s nuance you know.

Note to Dinocrats: Regret filling in that Kerry oval now?

Note to blogosphere: You know that little regional election crisis we’ve been obsessing about up here? This national enough for you? How about getting the word out so we can generate some outrage?

You got it!
