Republican response to the ethics complaint filed earlier today by Democrats against state Attorney General Rob McKenna:

"The state Democrats are so desperate to resuscitate the floundering campaign of their lackluster and ethically-challenged attorney general candidate, John Ladenburg, that they've wildly fired a shot in their own foot. Ladenburg's fundraising has been anemic, and even prominent Democrats aren't supporting him. The Democrats are apparently so desperate to shock Ladenburg's faltering campaign back to life that they don't mind serving up a huge helping of hypocrisy with their trumped-up charges."

(The "hypocrisy"? That Gov. Chris Gregoire, a Democrat, also appears in public service announcements. As detailed in the link above, Ladenburg says that McKenna is crossing the line, appearing in PSAs that are largely campaign ads.)
