Jim Gibbons: The walking punchline

By Rob Tornoe

Jim Gibbons took a shot last week from deep inside Gibbon's Country with an editorial by the Elko Daily Free Press.

They certainly didn't mince their words:

The governor has been involved with the wife of a Reno doctor. She shall go unnamed to save her husband public humiliation. Team Gibbons will say she's simply a friend. A friend he spends an inordinate amount of time with, a friend who asked her husband for a divorce a few months before the governor dropped the bomb on Dawn - and a friend who looks a lot like a certain Las Vegas cocktail waitress that accused Jim Gibbons of assaulting her in a hotel parking garage in 2006, when he was locked in a tight gubernatorial battle with Democratic State Sen. Dina Titus.

"Right now, I plan on spending some time with my family. With so many challenges before the country and our communities, the time is not to focus on campaigns; the time is to focus on solutions. I think people are tired of campaigns."
