Weekend with the Gibbers

Jon Ralston puts in what amounts to a guest post on VGO over at the Sun. Back in December, Ralston was telling us to give Gibbons the benefit of the doubt. It took about 15 days for him to become the State Goof-In-Chief's second most vociferous critic.

Ralston rehearses the latest Gibbonsocities, but instead of extracurricular stuff like groping GOP groupies, these are all Gube-related:

1. Proposing an empowerment school program that he needed some tutoring on himself
2. Flip-flopping on the the expansion of homestead laws for the the Incline Village-Crystal City set and then backing off when everyone jumped all over the idea
3. Pushing Wyoming coal-fields subsidies in the form of coal-to-liquid plants, since dropped by Energy Czarina Gecol like, well, a hot coal
4. Flip-flopping on his health care budget when he finds Guinn had included increased fees for the health care industry. The health care industry poured a hefty load of cash into the Gibbons' gubernatorial campaign just to avoid this type of thing. Money well spent.

Speaking of the Czarina, the Mynx finds some email from Gecol where Gecol, catching the Nixonian bug from Gibbons, is thinking of keeping the press out of the Guber's pointless task force for determining if global warning is real. Not only would Gecol be better served by turning on the grammar and spell checkers in her word processing software, she might want to have a look over Nevada open-meetings laws. And give Gibbons the credit for giving the most politically inexperienced person in the state such a high-profile job in a time when enrgy will be a major issue.

Erin Neff dissects the tepid campaign finance reform proposed by Gibbons and SOS Ross Miller. The only thing the proposal really adds is a mandatory report prior to the beginning of early voting. Where is the instantaneous electronic searchable reports we were promised? Given that politicians regularly ignore the $10,000 limit on donations, her proposal to get rid of the limit in exchange for better, more timely reporting is not unreasonable. Either that, or arrest Adelson for breaking the law.

And Senator Pete "I Love Yucca Mountain" Domenici admits calling up NM U.S. Attorney Iglesias trying to hurry up prosecutions of Democrats just before the last election. It's a violation of Congressional ethics for a Senator to call a sitting U.S. Attorney about an ongoing investigation. Hmm. Wonder if Gibbons called Bogden about that F.B.I. break-in of Montgomery's place?

And Bogden makes the New York Times big time. No mention of the Mongomery break-in, though. Sun reports that there may be a subpoena in the works to get him to Washington.

Hey Kids! Gold is great in Gibbons Country! Well worth the heavy metal poisoning, the build-up of coal-fired plants to power the ore prossessing, and the piddly percentage left behind by the Canadian overlords for the local bidnessfolk and the whores! Yay! (RJ,RJ,RJ)

And anybody else notice that the RJ site is moving towards soft porn?

And no hot ads but a couple of updates in Nor'Town.

Actually, Monger, they've been publishing soft porn for quite some time, under the guise of Sherman Frederick's "columns."

"That Little Yellow Button" (on the voting machines)
And if you still wonder how (why?) Gibbons, Heller, and that pecular ilk got "elected", read this story about that "little yellow button".
HERE WE GO AGAIN: 'Just Push the Yellow Button and Vote as Many Times as You Want' on Sequoia Touch-Screen Voting Machines!

"I can do it in 18 seconds," says Ron Watt (a Tehama County, CA precinct inspector who has been a poll worker in the county for the last fifteen years).
"I can train you to do it in 3 minutes. Just push the yellow button, wait 3 seconds and it chimes. Push the yellow button again, wait 3 seconds and it chimes again. Then it's all on the screen prompts. You're asked 'Do you want to enter manual mode?' and you push 'Yes'...And then you're on your way."

"You can then vote as many times as you want. You won't ever have to stop until someone physically restrains you from voting," he explained.

"But wouldn't someone hear the chime?" we asked...

"No, it's barely audible.

If that isn't bad enough... here in Nevada we had Heller overseeing the counting of his own votes.. and those of his crony Gibbons.

It's going to be interesting to see if Bogden is asked about contact from gibberdagrabber. But what could be done if he actaully was contacted since gibber is now out of Congress?

Remember the Foley thing that went nowhere? Expect the same here. Just another embarassment but there are so many now, who's going to notice another. The important thing is to protect starTrepper.

I'm impressed with Pete's arrogance: "Sure I called him and tried to get the sunabich fired. So what are you going to do about it?" So what will harry do about it - another resolution probably. And I love it when Heather Wilson dives under the nearest rock!~!

Yeah, Mynx has been on quite a rip here lately!~! Good post today, maonger!~!

[What?!]

Bogden.

Considering the "raid" on Trepp's partner's home; will anyone on the Senate Judiciary Committee ask him about this issue and if so, will he take the fifth?

[texex]

He's said he won't talk about it unless it's under oath. Hmmmm....what could that mean?

Desert Beacon has a story about Walter Reed being outsourced and being run by - you guessed it - ex-Halliburton execs!~! So they rightfully fire the career Army men but make sure to keep Halliburton. Makes sense only if you have the mind of a Vice Psycho-in-Chief.
