The Embarrassment Known As Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons Continues His Reign Of Comic Terror
Well, its official, the FBI has issued grand-jury subpoenas in the Jim Gibbons/Warren Trepp corruption investigation, and if what Dennis Montgomery says in this interview from the Today Show (here’s the transcript) is true, he is in a lot of trouble.
Seriously, could the photos be any better (if you don’t think Gibbons should remain governor that is)? First, there’s this one where Gibbons is hanging with his homey in their improvised do-rags and major bling. Nice shiny golf shirt by the way, Gov. And just in case you weren’t sure, Montgomery is helpfully pointing out that Gibbons is getting his drink on. By the way, its waaaaaaaaaaaaay to late for Gibbons to call himself an alcoholic as an excuse.
Is Gibbons groping the woman whose dress seems to be coincidentally falling off? And is that the former Miss Nevada in the right hand corner on the bottom?
Montgomery also testified that just before this photo was taken, he overheard Gibbons rapping along to one his favorite songs:
And I don’t know why, your girl keeps paging me
She tell me that she needs me, cries when she leaves me
And every time she sees me, she squeeze me, lady take it easy!
Hate to sound sleazy, but tease me, I don’t want it if it’s that easy
Later identified as Tupac’s “I Get Around“.

[...] It was a great festival this year—fantastic weather, great bands, and lots of badass men and women in the water. Although I don’t really count myself one of them (them minx is not a joiner!), something I love about the kayaking community is their “communityness.” They are their sport’s best ambassadors–more than any other sport I can think of. The professionals teach clinics between competitions, and mingle with the crowd at the events. They are particularly great when it comes to mentoring youngsters intent on taking up the sport. To see the gleam of joy in the eyes of all the boys and girls when Jason Craig, Reno’s own boy wonder (BoyBiscuit?), paddles down the Truckee—its a wonderful thing. Did you see the Down River Race this morning when pros Nick Troutman and Emily Jackson took the time out of their very busy schedules to escort a six year through the course in her first race? That was a very public example of the camaraderie and just plain kindness of kayakers, but it happened over and over throughout the three days of the festival. Any one of them certainly sets a better example for kids than our dear Governor. [...]
[...] I’ve been a bit busy but I did finally check in with the RGJ to see if they had mentioned the new MSNBC story on the FBI’s corruption case involving Jim Gibbons and Warren Trepp in which a grand jury has been subpoenaed. Unfortunately, just like the LVRJ, the RGJ.com also seems to have passed on the story, which is strange since Northern Nevada is Gibbons’ home. (Of course, since the RGJ is unable to actually deliver the paper to my home, I can only what’s online so its possible it appeared in the paper edition–anyone see it?) A possible grand jury in the investigation is a newsworthy development, don’t you think? Someone else is wondering the same thing on one of those RGJ forum thingies. And how could any newspaper trying to actually sell newspapers pass on those photos? [...]

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I want a personal apology from every one of you tards who voted this jackass Jack Mormon into office.
Maybe we’re trapped on the set of Reno 911 and don’t know it. Seriously, this is something out of a Comedy Central show or maybe Saturday Night Live. Do you ever see Gibbons bumper stickers and look at the people in the cars trying to figure out if they are human? How could anyone with a brain have voted for this guy?
I don’t think you do ANYONE any favors for criticizing anyone for doing silly things at a party and having photos of it. That’s what a party is. You wouldn’t get all indignant if someone took a snapper of Gibbons straining on the toilet and put up the headline, “Gibbons defecates in public!”
-M
It is not so much the silly things at a party…it is the cash & chips & cruise for government contract, the illegal nanny in the basement, the cocktail waitress slam-a-thon, the midnight swearing-in and fibbing about the reason, Dawn’s cash cow business for contracts, the total lack of planning for the state budget and late in coming almost nonexisting legislative agenda with lack of vision…but the again, never mind.
Wolfy, I agree that the fact that Gibbons likes to have some fun IS irrelevent. However, the things that ARE relevant include (1) who paid for that fun, (2) what Gibbons did to, ahem…reciprocate, (3) whether part of the “fun” for him included receiving a pre-arranged large amount of cash, (4) whether said cash came with any pre-arranged “strings,” (5) whether the cash that was exported/imported was properly declared at the port, (6) whether taxes were paid on said cash, and (7) whether our state’s governor is, along with being a party-lover (which, again, is fine by me) a crook (not so fine by me).
dont blame me, I voted for mimi4governor. giggle!
Out here in Hoosier land, we have our own little scandal. It seems that there is now a pr camapign to polish the tarnished reputation of a former paragon of virtue, “John” Randall Tobias, who resigned after his name popped up in the DC Madam Scandal. His excuse ” I was only getting a Massage”( for $300? lamo!)rates up there with i didnt inhale!! giggle.
May the GOV, and old “Randy Randy ” should hok up, and take a tour of the rural parts of NV, if you get my drift?
visit my blog:

and visit Indiana (why?)
Bill keeps things in the proper perspective here. We already know in 20-20 election hindsight that dagrabber is a poopoo head. It didn’t take a pic of a diaper on his head to prove that.
What I’m really interested in here is the very last part of Lisa Myer’s report that “grand jury subpoenas have been issued”.
But why is Paris Hilton pulling dagrabber’s hand down, down, down… Must be some sort of an initiation into dagrabber’s cult of only intoxicated women.
Dina “taxes” or Dina “tight-ass” must be smiling right now at how low this sorry ass pol has sunk. God, who voted for this moron? And we have had him around for a good while, we all KNEW he was a moron.
The dude is going to go DOWN, NV will look even more stupid than we are in the national eye.
Is there anyone we voted into office who is not a schmuck?
Wolfy–I totally disagree obviously. The reason I don’t run for governor or the United States Congress is because there are too many photographs of me doing things that would be embarrassing (although I wouldn’t be caught dead in such embarrassing head wear). Its one thing to POSE for photos like that BEFORE you hold a national office, its quite another to do it while a U.S. Congressman–especially if you also , possibly, took a bribe that same night.
Being an obvious alcoholic is another reason for recall.
Put 2 + 2 together here, folks. After the little thing in the LV parking garage and when he gets into the mansion, Dawn publicly declares she has taken away his booze. Which not so coincidentally sees a hand tremor develop and absolute confusion about even small matters including terrorism all around him, the excusr at the time for the wierd oath taking.
Dagrabber obviously had the dt’s. This person is an alcoholic in the worst way and needs treatment and removal from office.
Wolfy, I’m not criticizing for having fun at a party; I have nothing against that, althouth as Myrna pointed out, posing for those types of photos WHILE in Congress illustrates piss-poor judgement. My point was made by Kidfromvegas - it’s all the possible ILLEGAL stuff that’s kinda buggin’ me. He was a laughing stock long before anyone saw those photos. He just does not have the intelligence or integrity to lead.
1. Nobody over 50 is allowed at any parties I throw just for this reason. They will inevitable put a kitchen towel on their head, call it a do-rag and start drinking my good red. Govenernor Jim Gilligan is no different. thisis why I don’t attend any of my parent’s parties. Embarassing for the whole damned state. Was MC Rove busy? Geez-hus Chryst!
I have done far stupider things at parties, I am almost certain. I have done far stupider things in the last 20 minutes, certainly.
But… our governor is such a treasury of retarded ribaldry; an absolute devout moron of fun that it’s actually quite striking.
Let us pray:
When Adam day by day
Woke up in Paradise,
He always used to say,
“Oh this is very nice.”
But Eve from scenes of bliss
Transported him for life…
The more I think of this,
The more I beat my wife.
That’s A.E. Houseman.
What’s my point? Basically, it’s this: We all sit down occasionally. For some reason or another, our elected governor always seems to find a neat little pile of poo to sit in. Metaphorically, of course.
Forget about a carbon footprint. Gibbons has a methane footprint the size of Douglas County. He is a venti bag full of farts.

Oh please…its Nevada. He’s just having fun and even if he is skirting the law a little bit he isnt’ hurting anyone.
If you have pictures of him breaking the law you should post those. It bugs me when liberals attack conservatives with their own retarded tactics. We claim to be all erudite and superior, but Jeff Foxworthy could do better than this.
-M
I would be disappointed if our Governor didn’t like to get freaky. I guess some people want a governor whose all business all day. I prefer humans.
I agree with Wolfy and sugafree on this… That looks like a pretty dweeby party to me. But the pictures made me laugh.
We all prefer humans. Maybe we can even get on in the big public house in Carson some day instead of this obvious alcoholic.
texex, the alcoholic nonsense is ridiculous. Unless you know of more than the grand total of two times that he has (in which case you should spill it, with proof, of course) then who the hell are you to say anything about the guy. I drank more than that in the past week. Get me help too, while you’re at it. Try sticking to things that are proven and relevant. If the guy took money, then he should see the inside of the clink. If not, then let him have his booze.
Jerz - what’s that you say? The sound is kind of muffled like you have your head buried in a hole in the ground or something…
What’s that, again? You say you have your head up your grass?…
OK. I understand now. How’d you get in that position?…
Huh? Oh…you were born that way. Well, God does have a sense of humor even if He didn’t pass it on to you…
Really? So you’ve been joking for all 7,000 of your alcoholic comments. Pardon me for not getting the humor. It must be that you rarely are funny.
OK Jerz. Let me make this schoolboy simple for you. You have your head up your ass from whence you speak. You can’t recognize an alcoholic because you are one.
Perfect. So, just to recap, you call the governor an alcoholic based on two known instances of drinking that were at least a year apart, I ask for some proof, you say I’ve got my head up my ass because I don’t get your hilarious joke, and now I’m an alcoholic too. Clearly, I was right the other day when I said you are so dedicated to actually conversing with others about issues and not at all concerned with simply adding insults into every conversation you’re a part of. That must be why you use your real name all the time. You have nothing to fear and are willing to be accountable for all that you do. You are a true patriot, texex, and I hope everyone around you recognizes the service you provide this great nation and state.
“We all prefer humans. Maybe we can even get on in the big public house in Carson some day instead of this obvious alcoholic.”
Politicians are phony most of the time. Everybody needs a release. Even if the dude was an alcoholic, that doesn’t make him evil.
“Booze before meth!” I always say.
As far as getting in on in the big public house, count me in. It is weird picturing Jim and Dawn getting in on…
I voted for Gibbons, and proudly!
You liberals are hilarious. You’re covered in haterade, go take a golden shower and wipe off that smug look on yer faces.
And here’s the kicker…
Titus, who had all the support on the world from the national DNC, still couldn’t usurp a scandal laden congressman from Northern Nevada! LOL
You dems are dead in the water.
Jeez, Jerz, were you just born stupid ot is that a new major at your little school.
You and Wolfy should keep talking to each other over in that little site you do with your crayolas. And keep worrying about the “flatbillers” are after you more before you come over to the grownups blog. Wierd ~~~~~
What a waste of skin you are!
Keep it down in here already.
Rory–its been a while. I always find it funny when people call you a hater and then proceed to, you know, hate. Oh well. The fact that you are still proud you voted for Gibbons pretty much says it all.
“Jeez, Jerz, were you just born stupid ot is that a new major at your little school.” Hilarious.
Wolfie. As you are the self-proclaimed Jeff Foxworthy expert, amybe you can elevate the discourse. Or maybe you can sit in a La-Z-Boy and belch showtunes. Rube!
