Greg Nickels to George Benson: Drop Dead. Oh, wait, you are dead….

It looks like the Benson Streetcar Line, Seattle’s glorious anachronism that shuttled tourists between the waterfront and Pioneer Square, is doomed yet again.

ws_streetcar2.jpegOf course, it’s easily saved, but Greg Nickels is too busy with HIS streetcar line and plowing the city’s history under for more luxury condos. Word is he’s just gone ahead and moved his personal gold-plated Royal Mayoral Toilet on top of George Benson’s grave, just to make it a little more comfortable to piss on Benson’s grave every day.

And look, The Stranger is using that toilet, too.

I met George Benson while he was still alive. Nice guy. One of our best city council members, even if he was a little conservative. Greg Nickels is no George Benson. Boss Tweed? Richard Daley? Yeah, I can see those.
