So Gov. Christine Gregoire is about as irritated as she can be with the Department of Social and Health Services for overspending its budget by $12 million.

Well I’m about as irritated as I can be with Gov. Gregoire for proposing an allocation of $17.5 million to the health care of illegal immigrant children. Why isn’t that money being spent on children of legal citizens? I guess that’s her form of repayment for the illegal votes that got her elected.

She should be arrested for embezzling public funds.
