David "Goldy" Goldstein is an American blogger and former talk radio host in Seattle, Washington.[1] From 2006 to 2008, he hosted The David Goldstein Show on Saturdays and Sundays on 710 KIRO.[2][3] Goldstein first gained notoriety in 2003 for Initiative 831, which would have officially proclaimed Washington State political activist Tim Eyman a "Horse's Ass." Goldstein declared that he was attempting to parody the initiative process to highlight its shortcomings and problems.[4] Goldstein would claim the initiative got between "5,000 and 7,000" signatures before it died in court after a challenge by the state Attorney General, Christine Gregoire.[5]
