Abstinence pledges for GOP govs

Abstinence pledges for GOP govs (socialism, sillies, not sex)

As former Sen. Bill (She does respond) Frist (R-Tenn) learned at the cost of his mind, soul, and national political aspirations, never cater to ideologues. Inevitably, you’ll be deemed ideologically impure by the ideologues and too ideologically pure by the non-ideologues. Either way, …. (y)ou’re f*cked.

Now the fun’s afoot over at NRO, Free Republic, and other bastions of conservativism uber alles as the ideologues assess the comparative purity of Republican governors regarding stimulus money. Will they or won’t they be seduced by Obama’s socialism?

In a bravura performance of journalism, NRO Cornerite Mark Hemingway actually telephoned all 21 Republican governors’ offices in the country to determine who are most likely to remain chaste. Here’s my working tally so far:

Total sluts: Crist (Florida), Schwarzenegger (California), Douglas (Vermont), Rell (Connecticut), Gibbons (Nevada)

Having impure thoughts: Perdue (Georgia), Jindal (Louisiana), Pawlenty (Minnesota), Daniels (Indiana)

Cockteaser but virgo intacto: Palin (Alaska)

Asexual (so far): Otter (Idaho), Heinemann (Nebraska), Rounds (South Dakota)

Unsullied virgins: Perry (Texas), Sanford (South Carolina)

Don’t scoff. The conservative base is definitely taking this purity ball seriously. But I wonder: If a Republican governor blocks or inhibits his or her state's receipt of stimulus money, might not the governor be subject to recall or impeachment for incompetence or malfeasance?

1. You know, I can live with that.

More money for the sane states... and maybe a few more democratic governors in 2010.

2. Gibbons a mild surprise...I'd have thought he'd have impure thoughts

The four listed under sluts I'm not surprised. Blue state populace in 3 and a purple state in Florida. They'd be fools not to take the money. Plus, California needs every dime it can get.

Perdue a surprise

Perry is a moron, but I didn't think he was that stupid -- unless he was lying

3. There are actually 22 Republican governors...

Riley of Alabama would probably be at least a harlot.
