Just when the state is focused on the budget and the looming special session, scheduled to start at 10 a.m., the governor's judgment in regards to his personal life swoops in.
The Nevada Appeal, Carson City's paper, ran photos today of the governor and another woman embracing. The Nevada Appeal had reported on Sunday they were seen holding hands at the Reno Rodeo.
Earlier this week, the Las Vegas Sun asked the governor about his relationship with Leslie Durant, formerly Leslie Sferrazza.
“You know what, I’ve know Leslie for 20 plus years. In fact, Leslie is a wonderful dear friend and if they are implying there is anything romantic there, they are wrong.
“She is helping me get through a very troubling time in my life by being a friend. What troubles me is all these people speculating every time I bump into somebody that happens to be of the opposite sex. You can talk to Leslie, but I think she will tell you if (there's something that) takes the romance out of a friendship it’s being there when her child is born. I held her hand when her child was born.
“That’s how close a friend we are.”
Asked if this was romance, he replied, “Absolutely not.”
“I put my arm around her shoulder. I was talking to her. I had to get close because I had to get over the noise of the crowd.”
Asked about the photographs, he replied, “I think this is about my private life. I’m focusing on balancing the budget. I think this is such nonsense. The public wants to know what we’re doing to preserve and protect the people of the state of Nevada.”
Uhhhh....sure.....whatever, dude. We can all see for ourselves how "close" things are here.
Go get a cheap room and quit doing it in the parking lot.
Hmmm. The Love Gov's latest denial sounds an awful lot like someone else's denial...
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
And we all know how Clinton turned out.
Although, to my knowledge, Clinton never relied on childbirth to disprove his infidelity. Nice one, Gibbers!
Note to all single women out there: according to Jim, once you give birth you're sexually undesirable. That's gonna reduce his dating pool quite a bit once the divorce is finalized.
So, where and who is the father of Leslie's child? What was the Gov doing? Being her Lamaze coach or just holding her hand? Was Dawn holding Leslie's other hand?
Seems like the "moral majority" "family vaules" folks need to tighten up their definition of just which "family" their code of conduct apllies to.
:), I, too, was wondering about the full blood line of this child and just when all this wierdness happened. Was this 'blessed event' before or after occupying the Mansion?
Clinton
1) Looking directly the eyes of the entire nation said: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." He later explains this lie by saying, "Receiving oral sex is not sex".
2) In deposition in a sexual harassment lawsuit he was asked, "Where you alone in the hotel with this woman?" He lies under oath and commits a felony and says, "No". Later he tries to explain his answer by saying there were hundreds of people in the hotel. LOL
3) At one point trying to explain more lies he says, "What is the definition of "is"?
The same people who are demanding Gibbons to resign are the same people who defended Clinton.
Grow up.
I'm demanding he resign because he's incompetent, not because of his myriad personal issues.
The personal issues just add to the schadenfreude.
I wonder what six time married Mrs. Leslie Sellers-Cord-Sferrazza-Sferrazza-Ford-Slusser-Durant is hoping to be offered from the National Inquirer and/or Play Boy for another photo spread? Anything to get her name and face in the media?
You think he is incompetent because he refuses to raise taxes.
What did he call the hepatitis problem? "Media buffoonery?"
He's so incompetent and impotent he couldn't remove three doctors from the Nevada Board of Medical Examiners. He's the Governor of the state and he still couldn't pull it off.
His incompetence in interpersonal communication and relationships, as seen in the budget crisis that he has done everything to exacerbate.
His leadership style is both inconsistent and incompetent.
His incompetence in his deals with Warren Trepp.
Certainly his personal problems make him an unsympathetic character.
Shall I go on?
"he couldn't remove three doctors from the Nevada Board of Medical Examiners"
First, Guinn is the incompetent one for appointing those bozo's.
Second, those bozo's are removed by Gibbons from the handling the hepatitis problem.
The rest of the stuff you listed was weak.
Gibbons called for their resignation and they refused. He lacked the power and gravitas to force their resignation.
I'm sure you're familiar with the concept of the "no confidence vote?" It shows how weak and ineffectual he is. Nevada, in these times more than ever before, needs a Governor who can effectively lead the state. His own party is looking to field a primary challenge to his reelection bid.
And while most Republicans decry fiscal irresponsibility, you give him a free pass? Why are you so unwilling to criticize him?
And people want Buckley to replace him.
Other than hiding under a rock skills, she has shown no leadership.
"I did not have text with that woman."
No leadership from Buckley, eh? Yeah, from what I hear the Legislature is just a disorganized mess.
Except: it's not, and it's because of her and Raggio... and more importantly in spite of Gibbons the Love Gov.
Governor is confirmed to be textually active.
Buckley's and the Democratic Party's Plan for 2009:
1) Insert hand into taxpayers' wallets
2) Grab fists full of cash
3) Give cash to unions
Hopefully, the citizens will recognize this constant shakedown and put an end to it.
jfinance, do you work for the Gibbons? Sure seems like you are an insider.
The Gibbons grosses me out. Can't imagine texting or sexing him. Bleeh!
Dawn will do much better once she moves on from this freaking gross old jerk.
And, yeah, I love see how the moral majority real does it morally. LOL!
Gibbons can have all the girlfriends he wants and send as many texts as he wants as long as he keeps his pledge not to raise taxes. And if he's actually doing a former Playboy Playmate, he's got my vote the next time around!
Gibbons promised to not raise taxes.
He got the job on that promised.
He is doing an excellent job.
Buckley is going to promise to tax you left, right, up, down, backwards and forwards. She then is going to turn around and give that money to the unions.
