[Hope And Change]

Today's Must Read

Yes, the caption at left is correct. That's Governor Jim Gibbons (R-NV), in a warm embrace with a former Playboy model who is most definitely not his wife.

Last we heard in the Gibbons v. Gibbons fiasco, the governor and the First Lady had called a truce in their acrimonious divorce proceedings.

But since that joint statement, Gibbons has been implicated in other acts of philandering: hundreds of text messages to a female "friend" and affectionate outings with younger women-- the most recent of which was caught on film.

The Nevada Appeal this morning, published a series of pictures of Gibbons and a female companion at a rodeo in Reno.

1. Republican Family Values

[Hope And Change]

2. Yeah.I was thinking the same.

[book_worm]

3. Why do these playboy models go for these old guys? like 80 something year old HEF and his three

blonde bimbos?

[yardwork]

4. Money.

[Hope And Change]

5. Well, he is after all a Governor...

:D

10. Power and money are sexy, supposedly.

Also, the kind of "A-type" personality that it usually takes to attain power exerts a primal attraction. I suppose it's similar to why the grizzled old alpha male gorilla gets exclusive access to all the females, while the "more attractive" younger males hang around the periphery, looking glum (until one of them wises up enough to smash the old fella over the head with a stick, that is).

13. Hef still has it, I guess (millions I mean)

6. Jim Gibbons, a McCain Republican.

Everytime a Republican gets in trouble, intone like those old attack ads - "....a McCain Republican."

[medeak]

8. McCain said "don't really know him" LOL

when asked why guv wasn't in charge of his NV campaign..snort!

[medeak]

7. don't forget the Vegas cocktail waitress he accosted!

she went public saying he shoved her against a wall in parking garage ... and suddenly she disappeared...said to have been paid off and shuttled out of state?

[mrreowwr_kittty]

11. I know! It came out right before the election and he still won!

Of course, the Dem he ran against is known for being an incompetent idiot, but still.

9. Ah yes... the women who can't resist money and power...

And the men who can't resist the women who believe their BS... lust is grand.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

12. They get married and spend all their time trying to convince everyone it's Twoo Wuv. nt

[JuniperLea]

16. EW!

LOL! You are too right... ick!

[DJ13]

14. The GOP should give him a medal

A Republican was with a woman for once!

[Youphemism]

15. Wait... So all you have to do to get a Playboy model is become Governor of Nevada?

I'll have to reconsider getting into politics. It's been a while since I had a chance to throw my hat into the ring.
