Grade Your Governor (Please) and Tell us Why

[elshiva]

This is in honor of my governor, Bobby "Le Smooth/Dirty Ehrly" Ehrlich
who graded himself a "B" for 2005. HMMMM! In 2005, Ehrlich tried to pass his
slot bill, veto bills for raising the minimum wage, and for partnership rights
for unmarried couples. Plus he started the dirty tricks gubernatorial campaign with a smear against opponent to be O'Malley. So he gets a big "E."

Please grade your own governor, don't let him or her grade themselves! And
tell us why and what state, please!

1. Ahnold...

Urgh

[WestHoustonDem]

2. Rick Perry. Enough said n/t

[mike_c]

3. arnold schwarzenegger-- 'nuff said....

:thumbsdown:

[Gormy Cuss]

yep n/t

[Montauk6]

18. I'll second that for George Pataki

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Tim Pawlenty, the Bush-sucking stooge from MN, gets a D.

I'd have flunked him altogether except that he does favor permitting the importation of cheaper drugs from Canada. He basically sucks ass, though.

[Wickerman]

8. He probably has family in Canada who have pharm money

I give him no quarter, but I do fail him. Miserable excuse for a human being.

[GOPisEvil]

5. (p)Rick Perry gets an F.

He's a Chimp clone who couldn't lead a whore to bed with a $100 bill taped to his forehead.

[elshiva]

6. An F? I gave Ehrly an E because in

Maryland E=F. Dunno why though... Should get a Z

[brokensymmetry]

9. You've got that right. Governor Goodhair is a clear F.

Perry is every bit as vile as Chimpy - but not as bright.

Seriously.

[lastliberalintexas]

10. Are you serious?

You really grade him that high? ;)

[GOPisEvil]

11. Well, he's an Aggie, so I can't be TOO hard on him.

:7

[lastliberalintexas]

20. Hell, I forgot about him being a yell leader

Takes him down another notch in my book! :evilgrin:


:hi: David

[GOPisEvil]

21. Oh yeah, that's right. He was a yell leader.

Bleh...

:hi: How's the baby?

[lastliberalintexas]

26. Not a baby anymore- almost 2

Time absolutely flies once you have a kiddo!

How's work treating you (still with the state)? I'm sure you've been enjoying Austin these past few days. ;)

[GOPisEvil]

32. Holy crap! Almost 2?!

Wow.

Well, I'm not with the state anymore. We had a falling out, so I'm, er, between gigs currently.

Any Aggie who is cheering for Texas doesn't live in Austin. I've never been a fan of burnt orange, but I've overdosed on it. ;)

[lastliberalintexas]

35. You ever hear the old joke about how you know God is a Longhorn?

Because he made the most glorious sunsets burnt orange. (but then that also assumes one believes in a god!)


And then there was the one about the man in the bar who asked the bartender if he'd like to hear a good Aggie joke. The bartender replied "Before you say anything, you should know that I am an Aggie, that 6 foot 3 inch bodybuilder over there is an Aggie, and the bar's bouncer is an Aggie. Now, are you sure that you want to tell the joke?"

The man responded "Nah, not if I'm going to have to explain it 3 times." :)


Hope the job situation works out well for you!

[GOPisEvil]

36. Hehehehe...that's not a bad Aggie joke.

I needed to leave the state for a while. I'm on to bigger and better things! :)

[txindy]

57. Bwahahahahaha!

:rofl:

:rofl:

:rofl:

**wipes eyes** Oh, that was great! And true. Too, too true!

[Ediacara]

7. Brian Schweitzer gets an A

Not everything he does makes me happy, but most of it does. And he's about 5000% better than Judy Martz!

[swag]

16. A turd making a brown spot on a lawn is 5000% better than Judy Martz.

But I'm glad Montana has a decent governor again.

Now we have to do something about Rehberg and Burns.

Do you have a feeling at this point about Morrison v. Tester? I haven't seen the fourth quarter's fundraising numbers yet.

[Ediacara]

30. I am leaning towards Tester

But I like them both. Morrison is supposedly more electable because he's more moderate, but when it gets down to brass tacks, Tester is inspiring in a way that Morrison isn't, and Tester is a farmer from a REALLY small town, as opposed to a lawyer from (I think) Missoula.

[swag]

12. C. He's an impotent, glad-handing yahoo. Straight outta Babbitt.

I sat at a table next to him at a downtown bar the other night and heard him yammering happily on as though nothing were wrong.

Lavatory deal-cutter, that one.

[Lady President]

13. An F (or E if you prefer)

Why? Because my governor is Taft-- 'nuff said.

[huskerlaw]

14. Another E vote for Ah-nold

Again...enough said.

[OhioChick]

15. Bob Taft...........

Need I say more?

[lizziegrace]

22. Nope

I agree completely!!

[samplegirl]

17. Bob Taft

F- Corrupt, thiefing, cheating, lieing bastard.

[doc03]

50. Bob Taft the only Ohio Governor ever convicted for a crime

[samplegirl]

55. Republican

Scum!!!!

[EstimatedProphet]

51. Don't forget the Ohio Patriot Act

[CarpeDiebold]

19. a big fat F for sonny perdue

the republicans hate him because he's alienating teachers in the state and putting future races at risk for the GOP.

the democrats hate him because he's uber conservative and doesn't listen to a word the few elected democrats are saying. i live in a really red state...*sigh*

[MsUnderstood]

23. Da Termunator! no explanation required

But in case you are under a rock, special elections, ignoring San Francisco's fight to get gay marriage in california and playing Mr Lobbyist against Fire, Police, Teachers.

[datadiva]

24. Scwartzenegger, Kaliforrniah

Grading him F as in failure.

[Magrittes Pipe]

25. F

My governor is Bob Taft.

[MrSlayer]

27. Rendell gets a C.

Mainly because he can't really get anything done with a republican congress. He'd probably be a B+ if he had some cooperation.

[SheilaT]

28. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas gets an A from me.

She's a very good Governor, and there are some who think she could be a candidate for higher office in 2008. She's up for re-election this year, and at this point there is simply no serious challenge to her from the Republicans. Which is pretty interesting, when you think about how thoroughly Republican this state is.

Personally, although I think she'd make a wonderful President, I feel as if we need her more in the state than the country needs her.

She deals well with a difficult, Republican dominated legislature opposed to sensible funding for schools. She's smart, savvy, and pays careful attention to what needs to be done. I don't know whether I should feel sorry that most of you have never heard of her, or to be glad that she's not in the national spotlight, which would only serve to take her away from us.

I've met her a couple of times, thanks to my own political activism, and she's very good in person.

[Parrcrow]

53. I agree entirely n/t

[BikeWriter]

29. Rick Perry gets an A for his genes for good hair, otherwise..

he's a total #### up!

[UrbScotty]

31. Granholm (D-MI): A

She's not perfect, but considering the mess John Engler left her, she's doiung pretty good.

[CC]

33. E a very big E

but then I also have petulant, whining, baby bush wannabe Ehrlich. Add in replace the cuts he made in higher education the last 3 years to your list.But not one cent extra and tell the state how he cares about education as the middle class is locked out of state colleges. Besides I think he only replaced what he took away to help Steele so he can continue the destruction of the state.

[Upfront]

34. Granholm Of Michigan Gets An A

She has done a remarkable job with things the way they are today in Michigan. We have lost so many good jobs to out sourcing it is scary. The state was in a hell of a mess when she was elected and the rethugs control congress. She has fought like a tiger and I am glad she in Governor.

[graywarrior]

37. Jeb Bush

I don't think I have to tell you.

[ragin_acadian]

39. is he the one that duck taped your avatar?

b'lieve me, i understand.

faith based prisons. nuff said?

[graywarrior]

41. Katherine did the taping. Jeb watched.

[ragin_acadian]

42. did Noelle sedate it?

or was Gonzalez involved.

obviously not Peking duck.

[graywarrior]

48. Rufus T. Firefly prepared duck soup

[qnr]

38. Can't help but approve of a baldie named Baldacci n/t

[graywarrior]

40. Wish he were my gov

[Ron Green]

43. Ted Kulongoski gets an A minus or maybe a B plus.

How about it, Oregonians? Whaddya think?

[Fox Mulder]

44. Tim Pawlenty of MN...I give him an F.

I hate him.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

46. Tim proves that it's possible to defy the laws of physics

because he sucks and blows at the same time.

[Fox Mulder]

47. Exactly.

[evlbstrd]

45. Missouri. Blunt.

Incomplete. Incompetent. Corrupt.

[PittPoliSci]

49. Ed Rendell - B

he's really trying hard to stimulate PA's weak industrial economy in areas that need it perhaps the most.

[Beware the Beast Man]

52. Bob Taft- you do the math.

[politicat]

54. Bill Owens (R-CO) D.

He gets credit for admitting that TABOR was a disaster and that we had to do something or the state was going to cease to exist economically.

That's the only credit he gets from me.

Thank dog for term limits...

[RobbinsdaleDem]

56. Tim Pawlenty of MN gets an F

He signed on to the no new taxes crap. The cities get less money, so our property taxes go up, up, up.

[mykpart]

58. Rick Perry gets an E only because

there was nothing lower. I'm hoping we will fire him this year!
