Anymore, it is like shooting fish in a barrel with these guys…
You know that unidentified estranged wife of a Reno doctor that the governor of Nevada is not having an affair with?
Well, during one month last year he exchanged 850 text messages with her phone from his official state phone, at 15 cents per.
It’s all part of an increasingly messy divorce after 22 years between the 63-year-old Gov. Jim Gibbons, a former military and commercial pilot, and his wife, Dawn, 54, who formerly ran two Las Vegas wedding chapels. She’s also served in the state legislature. Hey, it’s Nevada remember. Nev gov Gibbons sends 100s txt msgs 2 other womans cell, not wifes (via Top of the Ticket at The Los Angeles Times)
Next time someone tries to tell you that the G.O.P is the party of morals, show ‘em this…
Andrew Malcom continues in this rather hilarious report:
On another day, or night, they exchanged 91 messages between midnight and 2 a.m., which is something like one text message every 79 seconds. Talk about teenagers. Bet the governor’s fingers were really sore.
And their arms too from holding the phones to their ears during 42 lengthy conversations, mostly at night and on weekends. The calls to Karrasch’s phone abruptly ended 14 days into April last year, the Gazette-Journal reported.
The newspaper said the messages’ contents were not available, which may be just as well. Although it would be kinda neat to…No, they’re private communbications and we have no business even imagining the abbrvtions used.
The paper noted the governor had reimbursed the state for the calls’ costs.
The governor does not face pretty tolerant Nevada voters again until 2010. In the meantime Jim and Dawn have agreed to stop fighting over custody of the governor’s mansion and negotiate.
Now, call me an idiot, but judging from this Picture:
I highly doubt that she married this old buzzard for the size of his……..Ahem, you know! or his dashing good looks.
Just a feeling a have….
I wonder if he took any lessons from Kwame Kilpatrick? Just sayin’!
