Strictly speaking, that was a circumstantial ad hominem, not a personal attack ad hominem. Let's get our name calling straight.

Nothing like informed commentary. Mr. Robinson is term limited and cannot run for city council any more. He could run for Mayor again, but I think we all know how that would work out.

Doesn't the "buyer's remorse" argument hold no matter when you vote? I suspect that a whole bunch of people who voted for Jim Gibbons ON election day wish they could have a do-over on that one.

Also, by not getting to the polls when (1) they can and (2) when they are thinking about it, some folks may not vote at all if they follow the Ralston Doctrine.

Anybody else remember Jim Gibbons' illegal nanny? Does the Governor plan to arrest himself?

I guess the R-J's suing Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington because CREW thinks most of the politicians the R-J supports are neither responsible nor ethical.

Er...what? Rory Reid's education committee, if there was one, consisted of members of his campaign. They are not any more subject to the open meeting law than a private poker party would be in my house. The Gube's committee, however, is an official public body appointed by a sitting Governor. So, open meeting laws prima facie apply to them.

But the most bizarre thing about all this is that I'm spending time arguing such an obvious point.

Now, now. Have some sympathy for the Reid-haters. You just can't shut off that huge, expensive, hate-spewing get-Reid machine overnight.

Huh. Which corporation should they be like? General Motors? AIG? Goldman Sachs?

By the way, the idea of giving the most "talented" people in an organization huge salaries and benefits mainly for screwing up is one of those private sector ideas.

Yep, what a stale idea. Running things like a corrupt, greedy multinational. Do you Nevada Policy Research Institute guys, pulling your salaries from those very corporations to spend you days typing in the Sun comments column, ever come up with something new?

I think we can see why Rory Reid left "bundling" out of his ethics' proposals.
