Former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer 'Offended' Over Internet Ads

https://s3.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/mHZ2swX1f5LThd3MHRWKcQ--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3NfbGVnbztxPTg1/

Former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is threatening legal action over Internet ads that feature her image to promote anti-aging products.

In Brewer’s case, the ads make false claims about her romantic life, stating, “divorced for being too old, see her revenge makeover.” Brewer and husband John have been married for decades, she said.

“We’ve been married over 50 years,” Brewer said. “The image there was me, and it was ugly and very inappropriate.”

The Arizona Republic first reported about the advertisements featuring images of Brewer.

Ironically, I'm offended by Brewer...can I sue her?

Thats REAL sexism right there... we shouldn't stand for it, regardless of what kind of person Brewer is.

Republicans want to deregulate businesses and REGULATE people.

Hope they make a mint, seeing how money is all a GOPer really loves.

But it seems she thinks it's far more important to make clear that her romantic life is formidable.
