twitterFLASHPOINT for Apr 06, 2007
Friday, April 6, 2007 | 7:16 a.m.
Hold your friends close and your enemies closer. This axiom apparently applies to politics, too. How else to explain why Gov. Jim Gibbons appointed Senate Minority Leader Dina Titus, last heard predicting the governor would be indicted, to a task force studying public-private partnerships on roads? I could be wrong. Gibbons may have considered Titus' vast knowledge of such partnerships and put aside any residual animosity. That would be the mark of a true leader and would be commendable. Then again, maybe he thought Titus would be neutralized, unable to hector Gibbons if he put her on a state panel. Titus neutralized? Quiet as a church mouse? Just a go-along, get-along kind of appointee? I'm sure that will happen.
