Weekend Gubocities

• Gubernatorial staffers, take hope! There is life after the Gube, like lobbying for the Poker Players of America. (PPA,Gube) See, that revolving door sure is handy!
• And who hasn't seen the latest attempt by the Guv to split his face in two:

Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons, who says he wants an all-out effort to prevent clinic practices linked to a hepatitis C outbreak, would have more state staffers for that effort if he hadn't fought approval of additional medical surveyors last year.

As part of his anti-new tax or fee policy, Gibbons cut 10 new surveyor positions from a proposed state Bureau of Licensure and Certification budget during the 2007 legislative session.

"The governor's position on not allowing these new positions was wrong during the 2007 session," said Assemblywoman Sheila Leslie, D-Reno, who chairs a panel looking into the hepatitis C issue. "It's almost criminal that all these inspectors weren't added simply because he didn't want to raise a fee.

"The public's health has been jeopardized because we don't have sufficient inspectors in the field," Leslie said Friday. "It's a horrifying situation." (AP)

• And thank heavens for that term limit bill. It might force somebody to run against the Gibbers in 2010. (Sun)
• Gibbers gibbers at Repug convention. (VTS) Hmm. Does that turtleneck help him get girls or what??
• Oh, yeah: Gibbons sued. Not by Dawn, either, but by the ACLU and others for killing people in prison clinics. (Nye, LAT)
• So, whatever happened to that divorce story? My guess, based on a complete absence of any facts whatsoever, is that Gibbers and the First Co-conspirator reconciled at least through the 2010 election. And, no, I have no idea what Gibbers used to bribe her for the extension.
