5. "Temporary labor" firefighters?

Sounds like union-busting to me. I guess we want union labor in Wisconsin, but not Arizona?

Just because the governor's a douche is no reason to disrespect hard-working firefighters. Not only do they undergo a lot of training to do their jobs, those jobs are also a hell of a lot worse in triple-digit temperatures. These guys are heroes, and to suggest that untrained people can do those jobs is very disrespectful to them.

4. Is She Eating Crow?????

...and want the Federal government to do what her broke state can't do?????

6. I live in one of the few states that ISN'T broke

So what's your point?

Also, why should she not ask for Federal help, just like every other governor would when there's an emergency in their state? It's not like she was talking about Arizona leaving the union like the governor of a certain state *cough* Texas *cough*.

Attack Brewer about AHCCCS (Medicaid), etc., but don't attack her when she's finally doing something right for the state. This fire is a monster, and jokes like the one you made are really tasteless. Leave them to Gilbert Gottfried, please.

7. Looks like she wants socialist help --- it's not a joke -- it's sad ....

The citizens deserve the help -- she doesn't deserve our ignoring her hypocrisy.
