Yesterday, the ex-wife of Nevada governor Jim Gibbons (R), Dawn, announced that she would be supporting Harry Reid (D), Senate Majority leader in the November election.
Explaining that she and Reid's opponent, Sharron Angle (R), are still close friends, Dawn claimed to be worried about school children and teachers based on policy disagreements that the two women had had when both served in the Nevada state legislature several years ago, leading her to endorse Reid.
In fact, it appears that the former Mrs. Gibbons still feels the need to continue taking shots at the governor, who described her in divorce filings as "...a ferret in a phone booth...", and the state Republican Party, which remained neutral in the marital dispute.
The sorry episode shows how little thought goes into the making of a RINO. Supposedly standing for a legitimate, legal, limited, constitutional government, most Republicans will at least make a fawning reference to those standards. When one leaves all respect for those principles in order to support actively someone like Harry Reid, who has no idea what the Constitution is, one is left to wonder: What the hell was she doing in the first place?
Alas, she talked a good fight when she wanted to be elected, but has shown herself to be as hollow in her soul as the guy she wants to see returned to DC.
Jim Gibbons isn't running again, so her actions seem to be directed at him for no reason other than to embarrass the party.
Dawn, we barely knew ye.
