New York Times on Gibbons
Nevada's incompetent governor Jim Gibbons (R) is now making national news, with a highly negative New York Times profile. Chuck Muth, a local conservative commentator who I sometimes respect, is quoted as saying:

“I think that probably there were some people who didn’t expect him to demonstrate a lot of intelligence,” said Michael Green, a professor of history at the Community College of Southern Nevada.
That's not even damning him with faint praise -- that's damning him with faint criticism!
I think there would be enough material for a blog that's just about the dumb/provincial side of Nevada politics.
