Wonkette
REMEMBER DRUNKY McRAPEY? Jim Gibbons is this incredibly dull/stupid cretin-crook Republican congressman who somehow became governor of Nevada, in the middle of some awful cheap sex-assault scandal. Now his wife has finally left him, the Feds are investigating all his crookedness, people are noticing that he hasn’t actually shown up to work this year, and the Vegas cocktail waitress he (allegedly) threatened to rape and murder has just filed a federal lawsuit against him, for being a scumbag. [Reno and its Discontents/Las Vegas Gleaner/Las Vegas Review Journal]
He’ll be serving in Congress in no time, but he’ll have to learn to like boys if he wants to stay Republican.
Will this clown please get the fuck out of office so Palin can have a few months of being the worst governor in the nation before losing the election and being jailed for WASTING THE ENTIRE NATION’S GODDAMN TIME!?
How did he get elected in the first place?
zhubajie: Guy’s a complete joke - but he commands enough loyalty among the professional staffer/consultant class and the party “insider” types, one of whom recently insisted to me that he was being unfairly maligned. I dunno…you know how those people are. Douche…
And yet how many stories has the MSM run on this? None, that how many. Damn Conservative biased media.
zhubajie: Vegas, baby.
I expect bi-hourly updates.
Could you find a better picture of Chrissie Mazzeo, please. That looks like that crazy runaway bride from Florida, remember her?
Having read the links, I now must shower. Again. Thanks Ken.
Also, totally OT but Huffpo has a story, via the Chicago Tribune, about an e-mail that McCain’s brother Joe that he sent to all the Republicans everywhere saying that his brother was a POW, and Bill Kristol is right, he should fire everybody and start over, and he’s made this special video all about how his brother was a POW and the whole Republican party is on a boat that’s heading for some rocks and all the sailors are drunk and asleep, and how dare the American people not elect somebody who not only spent 5 and 1/2 years (FIVE AND A HALF YEARS!)as a POW, but forgot to take a comfortable jacket, and the real John McCain is a great American, like James Madison, but maybe FDR should not be mentioned, but he’s being censored, they’ve got him locked up in a dark room somewhere, like when he was a POW, and the only reason he’s behind in the polls is because the American people don’t know about his history as a POW.
It’s good stuff.
gurukalehuru: You are a time saver. Thank you.
gurukalehuru: I saw that, too. I thought it was from the Onion.
Wasn’t this guy on Grumpy McWalnut’s VP short list?
Larger breast than Caribou Barbie.. and the cocktail waitress angle should appeal to the base?
Seems like a no brainer.
…isn’t this also the ass-wipe with the fukk-up son?
Look like Jim Gibbons is going to need a new job soon. I hear they have an opening at “National Review”.
Isn’t being Governor of Nevada a little like being able to lick your own balls? I mean really, would you rather spend your day rubbing chubbies with fatass repubtards in Carson City or putting claw marks down the back of a Palin-lookalike?
I’m gay and I know which one I’d choose…
Where was this mofo when Tupac got shot? Sheesh. The greatest bard since Shakers the clown goes down, and all you people want to talk about is white people? If Gibbons has an alibi, I want to hear it. Else Suge Knight will kick your ass.
Nice to see Nevada continues to keep it classy.
Looking at the picture, I thought that this was an article about Muammar Gadaffi!
Has Hopey measured his drapes? All I want to know…
I’m FROM Nevada and every time I hear about this moran again I want to cry.
zhubajie: Nevadans are scary protectionist and his opponent, despite living in the state for over 20 years and being the State Senate leader, had a slight southern accent. Nothing quite says progress like xenophobia–even from other parts of the SAME country.
Reed: Protectionist of WHAT? I know there’s a fine knit-hat company in Sparks, and some wineries, but what the hell else does Nevada export?
Palin/Gibbons 2012!!
Thank you Nevada for making me feel so much better about Arizona.
Gopherit v2.0: Indeed. We have some wacked-out folks for governor, but we kick ours to the curb every once in a while. And Palin somehow reminds me of good old Ev… a sexier, purty-mouthed Ev.
Apparently what happens in Vegas, doesn’t always stay in Vegas. Couldn’t happen to a scummier guy.
JoeFannyPack: You’ll have to change that slogan. Gibbons always likes to be on top.
Weird bling.
“Gibbons are renowned for their loud, complex vocalizations. These calls are used to announce location, defend territory, and to develop and maintain pair bonds.”
That’s enough science for today.
Ken, did you read the complaint? It’s like Kossack dumbed down the absolute worst Elmore Leonard novel, set it in the world of shitty, retarded Nevada politics and then submitted it to Bulwer-Lytton. Pennie turned on Chrissy “faster than a short order cook flipping a pancake.” Awesome.
Also: would it be too tasteless to suggest that every October 13, Nevada Wonketteers converge on McCormick & Schmick’s and drink ourselves senseless, then the gentlemen can help the ladies “find their trucks.” Like a Civil War reenactment, but with less dignity.
