twitterFLASHPOINT for Aug 27, 2006
Sunday, Aug. 27, 2006 | 7:29 a.m.
The Democrats are upset. Again. Seems they want to make an issue out of a perceived insult that Rep. Jim Gibbons gave to educators. It's an outrage, I tell you. Gibbons explained his reason for doing only three debates during an interview last week on "NewsOne at Nine" by saying about opponent Dina Titus, a UNLV professor: "Maybe she's just a professor and here all the time, but I have to work 2,500 miles away." That's an insult to all Nevada educators, the Democrats cried. And the party even managed to get the head of the teachers union, which coincidentally has endorsed Titus, to attack Gibbons for this grievous insult. As I have said, such a high-level discussion we are having this year.
