His opponent, David VanderLeest, led the signature drive to recall Hansen. VanderLeest should have been careful what he wished for. Not only is he likely to lose, but he's been exposed as a tax deadbeat who's been arrested for domestic abuse and accused of child abuse. He went on public radio last week and denied he smoked crack, giving rise to the nickname "Rocks VanderLeest." Now he's threatening to sue the Democrats for "false slander."
The whole world is watching.
