Win One For the Gibbons
Its always great when someone as straightforward and logical as Jim Gibbons grants one of his rare interviews to the press. People need to be reminded daily that they voted for a man who can’t even help contradicting himself in the first sentence. Gibbons seems a bit doubtful about how interested Nevada voters are in the upcoming state presidential caucuses. Let’s peek inside that little head of his and see what’s cooking:
“I think the voters of Nevada haven’t yet even got interested in all of this,” he said during an exclusive interview late last week, adding that some people are tired of the visits.
That’s right. Nevada voters were tired of the visits before they were interested in them. But what does the great political strategist think of what the Democratic candidates are doing?
“I’m not going to answer as to what their strategy is,” Gibbons said of Democrats. “I just think that from the public I am listening to and from what I hear, there is already a growing fatigue out there as to the presidential candidates coming. It was new and novel early on, and people like to jump on those opportunities, but if that continues to go …”
Yes, the Democratic candidates’ strategies are a mystery. Meeting voters all over Nevada and discuss the issues? That’s crazy talk! Its clear that if the candidates continue to visit Nevada as the caucus gets closer, it’ll only mean that they each meet even more Nevadans and discuss more issues in more depth. Again! Crazy talk! Gibbons certainly could teach Bill Richardson a thing or two. Oh, well, he does:
“I don’t know how many times Gov. Richardson has been to Nevada — five, six times,” Gibbons said. “There have been times when he has been here that it doesn’t even get picked up in the press. I know about it because I get notified whenever another governor is visiting our state, and that just says he is working Nevada. But is it working for him that much to be here that much?”
I certainly hope Richardson doesn’t lose the caucus or Gibbons might bump into him at the next Governor’s Association meeting. How embarrassing. Bill is sure to ask Gibbons for some campaign strategy tips. Oh, and maybe Gibbons can provide him with a little guidance in the area of energy strategy. Gibbons clearly knows what he’s doing there. He was for Yucca Mountain before he was against it. And so was his latest appointment.
This is one of the funniest news articles I’ve read in a long time. Either Hagar left out some key statements or Gibbons (and Lokken) are more obtuse than I originally thought. Way to pump up enthusiasm among Nevada voters Governor!

Bad karma?
It’s bad karma to claim that you have terminal cancer, only to miracously recover and then campaign for your ambulance chasing husband.
She had my sympathy until I saw she was on the stoop politicking. If you were fighting a deadly battle with a horrible disease, wouldn’t campaigning for a also-ran presidential candidate seems like a waste of the precious little time you have left?
She’s a whore.
There you go Myrna….for posterity sake.
As if I’m supposed to buy that she has terminal cancer but is out gallivanting around for her hubby in a presidential campaign? Bubkiss! Poppycock! She lied because the original diagnosis was that she had only months to live. Well that way months ago and now she has the energy and desire to stump? Sure…..
And as for my Karma, it’ll be just fine! I didn’t marry and ambulance chaser, she did. I feel pretty good about my comments and have no problem reiterating them — She’s a whore who used her disease to attract attention and sympathy.
You liberals talking about karma make me chuckle. You’re the ones subverting the troops and the war effort to win political points. The whole DNC is walking on thin Karmic ice!

Funny, all the people I’ve known with cancer actually continue living their lives. You are one sick puppy. Karma will be a bitch in your case. End of comment thread. Your incredibly obtuse comments are preserved for all eternity.

I guess you and I disagree as to what living ones life means. Stumping for a political also-ran in a pointless campaign seems like a futile way to spend your “last days”. Shouldn’t she be with her children and her family taking trips she’s always wanted to take? Or maybe she should be focusing on her treatments to fight what I was told was terminal cancer?
I don’t know, I guess I’m just crazy to think like that! I’m a “sick puppy” as you so eloquently stated.
But isn’t it also interesting that I made a judgment about someone I only know from the news. Then you turned around and made a karmic judgment on me for something I wrote about someone you only know from the news!
Oh the irony.
Its ironic indeed that you think there’s nothing wrong with you judging how someone else lives with their terminal illness. But what I find particularly reprehensible about your judgment is that its so obviously gendered. Nice. Now, do I have to close every comment thread or can you stop yourself?
Her gender has nothing to do with anything. Men can be whores just as easily as women….
Frankly, she’s a public figure so I don’t think it’s out of line to pass judgment on her PUBLIC actions. I’m not judging her as a human being, I’m just questioning whether or not she used her disease to manipulate public sentiment in favor of her husbands presidential campaign.
But I’ll move on. This isn’t getting us anywhere, obviously.
Please do. Preferably to Mississippi.
Broadway Joe:
Because you disagree with me, I should move to Mississippi? That’s rich.
So you want me to Cut N’ Run? That’s hilarious.
Hey Broadway Joe, are you still trying to kiss Suzy Kolber? Didn’t your mother ever tell you that when a women sez no, she means it?
And another thing Broadway Joe, you look ridiculous in that fur coat. Flamer.
I will freely admit that my mother named me for the man she (like most women in 1969) had a severe crush on, Joe Namath. Plan on calling me a flamer, though? Namath saw more ass than a toilet seat in a ladies’ room at Grand Central Station, and my wife of 13 years has no complaints whatsoever.
Now that you have offended me, maybe you should cut and run, because I love nothing more than bashing trolls, you insolent little punk. Actually, you should be honored. You’re my first troll here in Nevada, and I look forward to making an example of you as often as possible.
Maybe you should cut and run.

Nice double post Broadway. It was even better the second time.
I’m still waiting for you to bash me…. waiting….waiting….sorry, your connection has timed out!
Don’t worry yourself, tiny. I’m always watching for the moment for you to make a bigger and bigger ass of yourself. And then I shall laugh heartily at your rank stupidity.
By the way, I think Myrna dissed you just fine, she doesn’t really need me piling on. But I will anyway! A Bush-porn addict like yourself needs to constantly monitored and reminded of their impending political impotence.
I look forward to being one of the providers of your regular political enema.
Political enema? Sure.
Dude, you’re a liberal! It’s only a matter of time before you get all emotional, so you call your shrink, and start weeping away about how your father told you your threw like a girl! You don’t have the stamina to keep up with me. Don’t even try.
Let me ask you this Joseph — When Bush is out of office, where will your transfer all that hatred you have pent up? It has to go somewhere, right? Might I suggest focusing your bitterness at your mother for raising a whiny panty-waist like yourself?
