At Least He's Not Your Celibate Western Governor

He denied playing footsie with Mazzeo under the table because, he said, he was wearing cowboy boots.

That’d be Gov. Jim Gibbons (R-Nevada), who laid bare the embarrassing details of his life in a lengthy deposition taken by a lawyer representing Chrissy Mazzeo. The Las Vegas cocktail waitress has filed a civil suit alleging the drunken governor groped her in a parking garage. Gibbons won reelection after the allegations surfaced — and he denied them — but is facing a tough primary challenge and a divorce battle with his wife.

In the deposition, Gibbons denied taking bribes or kickbacks, denied keeping a “love condo” with Mazzeo, and denied having sex with his wife — at least since 1995.

That’s right, Nevada’s governor swore under oath he’s been celibate for the last 15 years, and he likes it.

“I’m living proof that you can survive without sex for that long,” Gibbons said.

But don’t expect him to joke about it:

When asked whether he had been flirty or had told any raunchy jokes while having cocktails with Mazzeo and others, Gibbons said he wasn’t a good joke teller and said he did not know the meaning of the term “double entendre.”

    Has something to do with two men and one woman or maybe one man and two women?
    
    I do know it is legal but costs double and you have to wear a helmet… In Nevada.
    
    either way who cares what a politician does in the dark.
    
    Especially a Nevadian Politician.

      I thought that was a double menage, but isn’t that where you eat an Italian meal twice? Why can’t we just speak English?

You’ve all heard the rumors. Glass houses, liberal hypocrites.

  Are you as proud of your celibacy as Governor Gibbons is of his?

    But even though Mrs. Warrior says she’s OK with the years of celibacy, she really isn’t. It doesn’t really happen to everyone, she says.

In the linked story an alleged lover gives a deposition during the divorce, and a groping and assault in a bar parking lot is a federal civil rights case.

It ins’t clear what the lover’s testimony has to do with anything in a divorce, or how the parking lot incident (which for normal people would produce a local police complaint) becomes a federal civil rights case.

There are probably reasons, but there certainhly is a lot of smoke and the tools being used to handle it aren’t well suited to the task.
