Governor Gibbons Has Had His Hands Full This Session

I heard this story from a very reliable source a week or so ago and was about to post it when the whole John Ensign affair hit the fan, so it seemed a little like piling on with randy Republican stories.  I decided to wait about a week and was once again ready to post when the Mark Sanford affair broke.  God knows what will happen next week, so I'll just go ahead and put it up.

Now, to be fair, this isn't about cheating on the wife.  But if your political career was almost derailed because of allegedly playing grab-ass with a Vegas cocktail waitress you would think it would be good practice to, you know, lay off the stuff once you are in office.  Or at least when you are out in public.  But with an approval rating sitting at 10 percent, maybe he has reached the point where he just doesn't give a damn.  After all, he doesn't have Dawn around anymore.

Anyway, a friend of ours was recently at a new south Reno Mexican restaurant when Governor Jim Gibbons and an entourage arrived.  The bartender there apparently was quite familiar with Nevada's Guv as she ran up and gave him a big 'ol lusty hug.  Not only did Gibbons heartily return the favor, but his paws quickly headed south -- the deep south.  So while my friend was getting an eyeful, our Governor was getting a handful.  It obviously wasn't the first time, and probably not the last either.

Well, at least this tail-grabbing incident was consensual.
