Jan Brewer's Giggling Gibberish from Arizona Governor Debate
What's the Story, Jan?
However, Jan Brewer is the incumbent governor. One would figure she would be able to know what she did, that she would come out with some prepared remarks, or that she would have at least shut the heck up when she realized she was unprepared. Better to say nothing and deny it the next day, then try to take things back when you've already said them. Just ask any of the chat-room pedophiles from "To Catch A Predator." Don't you think those men would have liked to have retracted their statements about where and how they'd wanted to touch, kiss, lick, or worse to these 12-year-old girls? Of course they would. So too for Jan Brewer.
According to the Christian Science Monitor, "...incumbent Republican Arizona governor...babbled a bit with her opening statement ('I have done so much and I cannot believe we have changed everything!')."
Huh? Wait, it gets better. "...the awfulness really rolls at about 38 seconds in, when she runs out of things to say, looks down, clasps her hands, and pauses for five seconds or so. She clasps her hands, and gives a sort of combination sigh and giggle, and then says 'We have, uh ... did what was right for Arizona.'" Behavior like this is only indicative of a few things, all things I hope the governor wasn't doing just before a debate.
Political Flub Memory Lane:
I love to remember great performances in political debate flubs. One of my favorite was one which has been riffed on and paid homage to so many times, when Dan Quayle compared himself, or, more succinctly, his experience, to that of John F. Kennedy. Why a Republican vice presidential candidate would try to elevate himself to such a mythic and legendary figure as John F. Kennedy is beyond me. But it was opponent Lloyd Bentsen's famous comeback for that which was so memorable when he remarked, "Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."
Bush and Quayle won the election, but Quayle was always played down when in office. Right after Bentsen said that riff, Quayle replied, "that's inappropriate Senator," to which Bentsen correctly replied (essentially) "you made the comparison." Quayle unfortunately never received the respect he sought during and after his one term in office. I'm sure being such a young, good-looking man, he thought that after he and Bush senior got over their two terms, he'd be the darling of the Republican party. It hasn't worked out to such great effect as of yet for Quayle.
Brewer may be able to continue to run on her record but performances like this are not soon forgotten. One thing Brewer's got to do is explain what she was talking about or explain why she was mumbling gibberish (some people cite that she could have been tired; that works great, especially if she was doing some of the good people of Arizona's work) and then she can't dwell on it. Or Brewer could end up like Dan Quayle. Unfortunately for her, the new season of Saturday Night Live gets going before the election. Sad to say the caricatures she gets from John Stewart, SNL, and other programs like that could be her death knell.

Post a CommentI was on vacation last week and our trip included the Grand Canyon...I took my papers, just to be covered, of course...didn't spend any money there except for some gas I had to buy and a couple of Gorditas at a Taco Bell...can't be supporting a state that would be dumb enough to elect Brewer, Kyl, and McCain...
Why do we have to stop sb1070? It is in the constitution that we can do that, it is also Article 4 that states: Our government guarantees that it is to protect from invasion, and violence.

and grenade launchers directly at U.S. border cities from just across the Mexican border. This is every bit as much of an invasion as the nation of Iran sending in a fleet of warships to the Port of Charleston .
The Constitution that forms the basis of the rule of law in this country says that Arizona has legal right to protect itself in the case of inaction or delay on the part of the federal government, including waging war in its self-defense.
This, when coupled with the clear Constitutional mandate that only the Supreme Court hear cases involving the states, should be ample legal basis for attorneys representing Arizona to go after the federal government with a vengeance.
Governor Jan Brewer and the stalwart members of the Arizona legislature have ample legal reason to stand firm against the illegal bullying of an arrogant, lawless federal government. And there are establishe
In a related development, another explosive discovery was made by those who actually take the Constitution seriously. The Constitution specifically allows an individual state to wage war against a neighboring country in the event of an invasion, should there be a dangerous delay or inaction on the part of the federal government.
From Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution, we find these words: No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."
No one who is actually familiar with the crisis at the southern border can deny that Arizona is endangered by the relentless assault of lawless Mexican invaders who ignore our laws, inundate our schools and medical facilities with unpaid bills, and even endanger the very lives of citizens with criminal drug cartels that engage in kidnapping, murder, human trafficking, and other mayhem, including aiming missile and grenade launc
"Article III, Sec. 2, clause 2 says: "In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction."
In other words, the Judge in the Arizona case has absolutely no Constitutional jurisdiction over the matter upon which she ruled. As the Constitution makes abundantly clear, only the U.S. Supreme Court can issue rulings that involve a state. This means that neither Judge Bolton nor the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco , to which the case is being appealed, have any legal standing whatsoever to rule on the issue. Thus, U.S. Attorney-General Eric Holder filed the federal government's lawsuit against the state of Arizona in a court that has no authority to hear the case.

I just received this, and cannot confirm its veracity. Can Governor Brewer?
Wrong Court Ruled on Arizona Law
In a stunning development that could potentially send the nation into a Constitutional crisis, an astute attorney who is well-versed in Constitutional law states that the ruling against the State of Arizona by Judge Susan Bolton concerning its new immigration law is illegal.
The attorney in question submitted her assertion in a special article in the Canada Free Press. Her argument states in part, "Does anyone read the US . Constitution these days? American lawyers don't read it. Federal Judge Susan R. Bolton apparently has never read it. Same goes for our illustrious Attorney General Eric Holder.
But this lawyer has read it and she is going to show you something in Our Constitution which is as plain as the nose on your face.

Nice work, saw it and thought i have seen politicians do a lot worse.
