There must be something in the Elko moonshine that renders the Governor's mental apparatus more dysfunctional than usual.
Gibbers gave another little speech up at that notorious Lincoln Desecration Day dinner wherein he proceeded to beat up on the Lord High Chancellor–long after spineless Regentards had neutered the Chancellor, and Mr. Rogers had agreed to shut up about the goober:
"Yes, I work work with higher education," Gibbons told the crowd in
Elko. "No, I will not work with Mr. Rogers. Not even if he wears his
warm fuzzy sweater and his slippers and comes to my office. I will not
work with Mr. Rogers.
"First of all, I think he has done more harm to the system of
higher education. And I don't make the choices that he has blamed me
for. I don't make the choices about your community college. That's left
to your Board of Regents, that's left to your chancellor to make the
choices on where they spend that money," the governor said. (AP)
Yep, it's un-parsable gibberish as usual. That first sentence in the second paragraph sort of leaves one hangin'. More harm than what? Than Gibbons on a bender in a parking garage? Than GIbbons at the rodeo with a MILF? Than Gibbers with an Excel spreadsheet doing the budget numbers? Than what, what??
Do you think he ever reads over those speeches before he gives 'em?
Tho, I'm glad to see he admits to not making any choices when he draws up a budget. That backs up my theory that he makes cuts with the help up a blindfold and a dart board.
But what the speech tells us more than anything is that our loner gube is so full of grace and tact that he'lll do anything for a bit of petty payback.
At least it wasn't plagiarized like the human shields speech. (RadioLeft) Unless…that fuzzy sweater line sure seems familiar.
Elsewhere:
- Governor's aids insist that the Gube has to do his budgeting without consulting anyone because otherwise he'll miss his me-time. (Sun)
- Mazzeo lawyer makes the quite reasonable case that the Gube and his cover-up cronies ain't too busy to find the tapes and such that went missing during the "investigation" of the Jim And Sig cocktail rave and garage grope. (RJ) Kids, don't try that cocktail rave thing at home.
- Gube may refuse stimilus funds because they would force him to actually serve Nevadans for a change. (Sun)
- Anti-government backbencher Porter decides it's time to get his share of fed pork. (RJ) While the irony of the move nauseates most of us, it seems to be good news for the Reid family trust since Father Reid won't have to face the Porter dreadnaught loser brigade in 2010.
- Hmm. I'm one of Shelley Berkley's constituents, and I'm pretty sure I don't give a damn if rich folks lose a tax break: "Berkley said the proposed tax increase was 'the number one issue' on the minds of her constituents over the weekend" (Sun,WaPo) She must be referring to the millionaires she and hubby invite to tea at the manse. Do you think she has ever talked to anyone from Nor'Town, the deteriorating exurb in her district?
