FLASHPOINT for Apr 09, 2007
Monday, April 9, 2007 | 7:34 a.m.
How fitting that a man who needs a resurrection would want to celebrate The Resurrection with as many people as he can. Gov. Jim Gibbons, crucified by the local and national media during the past few weeks, invited kids to the mansion Sunday to celebrate Easter with him and first lady Dawn Gibbons. The event is patterned after Easter celebrations at the White House, with commemorative eggs that become collector's items handed out to children who attend. Who knows just how valuable those eggs may be someday? An egg from the Gibbons family in celebration of their first Easter in the Governor's Mansion? Valuable. But if it's their only Easter there? Priceless.
