Assorted gleanettes from the madcap world of Jim and Dawn

• "Why now?" asks local columnist. To reiterate, there seems to be a false premise underlying the entire discussion about Jim and Dawn's madcap divorce, and that is the assumption that either unstable whack job is acting in a rational manner. Which is to say one can ask questions such as "Why now?" but, really, why bother?
• Yes, goodness, how awkward for the media to cover this oh-so sensitive issue. But demanding openness would be a start, says the RJ's Smith and the Sun in an editorial — though neither jumps on the Gleaner's call for the media to mount a gubernatorial stakeout. Having said that, one can't argue with Smith's assertion that if the nation's worst governor "wanted to keep his divorce private, he should have resigned from public office." The suggestion comes a tad late, though; the nation's worst governor should have resigned when he started his administration with a lie — and not just any lie, but a lie wherein he cynically tried to use the "war on terror" to mask a tawdry bureaucratic act of vengeance on his predecessor.
• Welcome readers from far and wide who saw the url for the lowly Gleaner in the wire service story in your local newspapers. Expecting someone taller? Sorry. Anyway, here's the post that's mentioned in story, ifn's that's what yer looking for, though this one certainly features more in the way of mean-spirited rumor-mongering.
• Emerging feminist cause celebre Dawn Gibbons seeks a change of venue (AP, RGJ). Apparently she doesn't trust a judge who ordered the case sealed at her idiot husband's request without even telling her lawyer the request had been filed. Women are so suspicious.

Dawn has the ability now to get this idiots balls in a ratchet publically and I can't wait to see it.
Most of Nevada is on the edge of thier seats just awaiting a twist of the wrist by Dawn.
Let the games begin baby!

SOOOOO......why was NO ONE but the GLEANER willing to turn over a few rocks when it came to the divorce of another elected official from Nevada. His name rhymes with Sean Mortar.
