Party System

Nevada's governor Gibbons wants the mansion back.

Seems fair to me; the folks elected him, not his soon to be ex-wife, so she should move out. On the other hand, with all those rooms it's doubtful they'll have to see each other if they don't want to, so he could be magnanimous. I tell ya what, this election year just keeps getting better and better. This is the same Gibbons who is already under investigation for corruption, and a couple years ago was accused of propositioning and assaulting a waitress he'd been out with, though that case was dropped for lack of evidence.

There's also a great picture taken when he was a congressman partying with a group of women. Woo...go gov!Why do politicians always seem to have all the fun? Hey, no problem, the rest of us will sit here and watch our jobs evaporate while you take money for doing favors and party the night away. Is it any wonder there are so many things that need fixin' here at home and they aren't getting done? I have said and still believe a person can party and hold a job; just check with your average twentysomething, but there comes a point in life and position when some of the partyness has to get dialed back a notch.

If things like this keep happening, it won't be long before just anyone thinks they can be a leader and before you can say "cigar and stained blue dress", we'll have anarchy. I mean, what kind of democracy would this be if we let any citizen who wanted to run for office? It's time for all you crazy pols to snap out of it; too many of you are letting the people see how much fun can be had, and there's a chance the two-party system will become the "hey, let's party" system.

Also, there's lots of guys out there who don't make the great money you office holders do, and it'd be really nice if you'd stop driving up the price of escorts, especially since it's we who are footing your footsie bill .
