PHOENIX - Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has vetoed two controversial bills passed by both the Arizona Senate and House -- the guns on campus bill and the 'birther' bill.

1. Whats in it for her?

Because republicans don't do anything with an angle that will benefit them.

3. Torpedoes Palin and Trump...

another Republican probably put her up to it.

She's got connie street cred.

5. +1

2. That's going to hurt the Donald.

If Brewer won't get into the birther shit, then it makes him look like an ass. Which, of course, we all knew he was.

4. Let the flailing begin!

6. She made a big mistake.

Now her membership in the Tea Party is gonna have to be revoked. Poor Jan.

8. Maybe she figures they'll be history by the time she runs for office again

7. I had feeling she was going to do this after her initial comments last week..

Her advisors must have told her this was bad politics in addition to being just plain stupid.

10. Uh-oh...

They're going to confiscate her secret decoder ring for this...

11. They'll primary her for sure for this

I have zero idea what she expected to accomplish with this, it's not like she's any kind of viable candidate for higher office (even Senator from AZ) but she's signed her political death warrant.
