All those suckers who think there is some social, political or, in all likelihood, personal benefit to be gained from facilitating Jim Gibbons' continued flight from justice now have a place to pony up even more cash to the sociopathic lying skank so he can defend himself against all his malicious and evil acts.
That's right, the nation's most awkward governor takes the first possible opportunity under the law to set up another legal defense fund (RGJ).
Frankly, we're confused. Every time Gibbons talks about sexually assaulting Chrissy Mazzeo or forcing his undocumented nanny to hide in the basement or the bribes he took while despicably claiming he was just supporting the troops or the bribes Dawn took just because she could, he declares that he and/or Dawn have already been proved innocent of all wrongdoing. Why does he still need a legal defense fund?
Meantime, Gibbons' high dollar lawyer told the paper that Gibbons mortgaged his house so he could pay the high-dollar lawyer to tell the paper that Gibbons mortgaged his house so he could pay the high-dollar lawyer to ... we better stop, that sentence could loop interminably. Anyway, we wonder if the gubetard is allowed to use ill-gotten contributions to his legal defense fund to pay off that mortgage, on the argument that the mortgage was used to pay legal fees — or, alternatively, if the contributions must go directly to pay for legal fees, leaving Jim and Dawn to pay the mortgage out of whatever they're getting paid these days to be Jim and Dawn.
Obviously, we hope it's the latter. There is, after all, no reason to believe or suspect that the nation's most glassy-eyed governor is capable of competently managing his financial affairs when those matters extend beyond the rather simple act of putting cash and casino chips on that one shelf in the garage, or watching Dawn cash a check for work she didn't do. If the final and lasting legacy of his political career winds up being financial ruin, well, yes, we wish it on him.
Hmm, candidly, we're a little surprised at how mean and uncharitable that sounds. And yet, we totally mean it.
The legal defense fund will cover the next round the Gibber buys at McCormick & Schmick when he sees his next potential rape victim.

Gibbons got elected to do the two things he's really pretty good at, nothing, and then hide from the people.
It's not just about not raising taxes, it's also about wasting our most valuable resource - TIME!
And, of course, the best way NOT to be held accountable, for doing anything, to include nothing - is act like some sort of supercalifragilistic, yet unapproachable CEO and hide, hide, and hide.
After all, it's just one day at a time - and after all the super important social stuff with his buddies, there's just no time in the day to actually govern. Besides, he has to listen to what Dawn's staffer's taught her today about some obscuree piece of Nevada history to provide her with a photo op between high society events too!
Wonder how that Kindergarten study is going?
I gotta say, it's like being in a Twilight Zone episode now-a-days! We have the stupidist President ever in the history of the U.S. in the White House, and the dumbest jerk in the history of Nevada in Governor's Mansion!
I'm simply ashamed to be an American and a Nevadan these days!

JLA, at least we all can agree that Nevada has something in common with the nation: an immoral, incompetent leader!
