Rob McKenna goes, jumps in a lake. True story.

Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna, while being tossed into Lake Sammamish, had the foresight to think someone might be taking a picture that one day would be used to link to a video of the event on his website and that people should check it out. (Photo courtesy of Rob McKenna campaign)

Not sure how I missed this one but Attorney General Rob McKenna at his primary evening barbecue offered to be tossed into Lake Sammamish if enough supporters cut a check to his campaign.

And guess what? Enough did and McKenna’s camp posted the video on YouTube (it’s at the end of the video posted below).

That Rob McKenna. Wild and crazy, right? Well, not exactly.

You’ll notice in the photos that precede the AG tossing that McKenna is going the casual route in greeting his guests with the khakis and blue dress shirt, no tie. Very sensible.

And he changes before being dunked, so you know this was not an entirely spontaneous event.

But if you watch closely you’ll note that while being tossed into the lake he’s STILL WEARING KHAKIS!!!

But then, whose khaki fleet doesn’t include the everyday khakis, the lounging around the house on a Sunday khakis and the being thrown in a lake khakis?
