Publicola has a bit of gossipy news today about road-rage induced slap fight involving former Deputy Mayor Tim Ceis—known around city hall as "The Shark":

Apparently, Ceis and the other driver got into an argument in West Seattle after the driver cut Ceis off.

After yelling at each other from their cars for several minutes, both Ceis and the other driver allegedly got out of their cars and had a verbal altercation. The second driver then apparently slapped Ceis in the face and drove away. No police officers were called, and no charges were filed, in the alleged incident.

Publicola has not yet reached Ceis to confirm details of the incident.
