FLASHPOINT for May 27, 2007

Sunday, May 27, 2007 | 7:15 a.m.

Let's hope the TV cameras are rolling at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday in the state Capitol. That's when the official portrait will be unveiled of ex-Gov. Kenny Guinn, an event announced last week by his successor, Jim Gibbons, who will host the proceedings. That ought to be quite the scene: Guinn, who has utter disdain for Gibbons, being honored by the man he clearly didn't support . Ex-first lady Dema Guinn also is slated to attend. But first lady Dawn Gibbons is not listed as an attendee - you may recall that Dema Guinn had been critical of Dawn Gibbons for trying to be first lady and a congresswoman. Those two like each other even less than Jim and Kenny like each other. As awkward political moments go, this ought to be a doozy.
