Finally, we get the take everyone has been waiting for on Gov. Jim Gibbons' troubles: Mayor Oscar Goodman's. When a reporter, tongue presumably in cheek, started a news conference by asking his honor whether he ever thought his political opponents were paying reporters to write negative stories about him, Goodman quipped, "There are only a couple of reporters I know who are on the take." Pressed to name names, the mayor would not. But he does have sympathy for the poor governor: "I'm not particularly a fan. It seems like every day he gets more mired down in his difficulties . Nobody gives him a chance to breathe and you wonder whether he'll ever be able to come up for air." Good news, Jim: Oscar can relate.
