Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons is trying to ride the coattails of the profoundly important teabagging movement in his latest horrifying and creepy video address.
The nation's most unbalanced governor gushes uncontrollably at how Assembly Speaker Barbara Buckley prematurely ruled out a corporate income tax. Then he calls Buckley and all the other Democratic legislators "liberals," but not in a nice way. Finally, after some standard-issue anti-government ranting accompanied by several painfully unnerving facial expressions...
"...and one more thing. I want to thank all the great Americans in Nevada who showed up for the tea parties around the state. Ever since my campaign for governor began, I promised you I would not approve any new taxes. If you want to help, just send a teabag to your representative in the state assembly and the state senate. You can send a note along with it if you want. But be sure to send that teabag."
Well, that should solve the worst-in-the-nation budget crisis AND begin to adequately fund the cheapest-in-the-nation state government. All the knuckle-dragging mouthbreathers have to do is supply their magic teabags. Gibbons will bring the crazy.
Hee, hee. He asked for anyone with "ideas" to send them. But don't bother sending "ideas" to the legislators, because a teabag is, you know, the same as an "idea."

Tailspinterry, Governor Assaulter wouldn't know an idea unless it had big boobs, was drunk, and needed help getting to its car.

Constantly amazed that the teabaggers don't understand that THEY are the problem! Clark County tax dollars flow to them, earmarks from Heller and Ensign and Reid flow into their counties....heck, most of the counties these people hail from don't have a tax base big enough to provide for the services they demand!
Teabaggers generally hail from areas that need revenue pumped into them to provide for the way of life these people have; will any of them stop their government pension(s) (like Gibbons' plural government pensions), end their medicare or medicaid, pay the freight for their kids education or return their social security check [once they have gotten their principal back-though left to invest for themselves many would have lost it all].
Gibbons plays, once again, to the most base emotions...what an ass!

Please hurry up, 2010 -- so we can throw this loser out on his perverted, incompetent and immensely stupid ass.
Burn in hell, Gibbons.

Please do not show this video to small children. I just did and it transformed a quietly sleeping and angelic child to a screaming mess. As soon as the video ended, he became quiet and calm again.

Not Bob, perhaps your child was afraid that Governor Assaulter was about to help his mommy to her car.

That's just what the state mail room needs - envelopes full of powder addressed to state lawmakers.

Um. I don't have anything to add, really, except to warn folks never, ever search google images for "teabag" with the "SafeSearch" filter off. What you'll find is almost as disturbing as the latest gøøber pseudopod-cast. Almost.
