Right-Wing Arizona Gov Jan Brewer Totally Screws Up 1st Debate, Flees Reporters
Posted by Tana Ganeva on @ 11:27 am


In last night’s Arizona gubernatorial debate, right-wing Governor Jan Brewer tried to list her accomplishments. It went poorly:

Later, in an exchange about the economy, her opponent, Attorney General Terry Goddard, pointed out that Brewer’s fearmongering about violence in Arizona did not do great things for the state’s financial prospects. He then called on Brewer to recant her totally made-up claim that illegal immigrants were running around beheading people in the Arizona desert. Naturally, Brewer evaded the question.

Afterwards some reporters had the gall to continue the line of questioning, asking Brewer if she still stood by her completely made up story. She was clearly too flustered to dissemble or lie, so she just ran away.

1. shouldn't someone have asked her about her ties to private prison contractors?

maybe they did i did not watch it.

9. Nah-- nobody cares about hat sort of stuff. She got caught with a big, fat...

LIE and that's what will sink her, if anything.

2. How could people in Arizona vote for her as Governor? Talk about dumbed down?!

4. In a word, fear.

7. For the record, she wasn't elected governor in the first place.

She ascended the throne when Napolitano became Sec. of Homeland Security. She is the accidental governor with a GED and no college degree. A wreck.

3. Wow...what an idiot.

Reminds me of Sarah Palin. She doesn't seem to have a clue what she's talking about...just parrots talking points.

5. FYI: The RW talking point of the day is that she "Pulled an Obama"

because he pauses sometimes when he's "without his teleprompter".

6. Anybody good at video editing?

Between her and Angle, there's probably enough footage for a really awesome Benny Hill spoof to the tune of "Yakety Sax".

[EOTE]

10. "Yakety Sax"?

I've heard that tune so many times over my many years. Never had any idea what it was called. It's certainly a fitting name.

8. Her contribution to future public speaking classes is invaluable

Fun to watch, too.
