Who’s Your Daddy?

Well, if you're a state senator by the name of Bob Beers, Casino McMoneybags is your daddy.

And the top giver to the Beers Express? Sheldon Adelson via various front companies. Why give $5,000, the max allowed during the primary, when you can throw in the $5,000 for the general, too, before the primary is even over? [...]

Sorry, Bob

I’d like to apologize to Maxi-Bob Beers.

You see, I always suspected that Beers may not have been entirely sincere when he was defending the Governor’s goof-ups. I always pictured Bob to be just sucking up when he was doing that. You know, like anybody who works for an idiot boss might.

I thought he was just pulling [...]

Beers Makes the Wonkette, But Not in A Nice Way

Bob Beers has finally made it into a big blog, over on Wonkette in the post Wacky Paultards Ruin Nevada GOP Convention:

Convention chairman Bob Beers shut down the whole event, claiming
the Peppermill Casino was going to kick them out for continuing beyond
5 p.m., which was a total lie, so the Paultards tried to kill him, and
he [...]

Goin’ to the Dogs

So, the governor plagiarizes an idea that’s been around a decade
or two and suggests that the Nevada Department of Public Endangerment
use dogs to sniff for drugs. (RJ). Well, maybe the department can use the dogs to find the drugs missing from the Fernley Fallon office.

State Senator with a vested interest in keeping business licensing in Nevada [...]

Another Two Reasons to Vote Against Thompson

Oh, okay. You’re not going to get a chance to vote for or against Fred Thompson in any election anytime soon–unless you’re one of the four or five people that will be crawling out for the Nevada Republican caucus, and technically that ain’t a vote.

However, Nevadans, who will no doubt be surprised to learn that both [...]

Who is the Man Behind That Mask?

You know you’re having a bad day if you have to rely on Bill Clinton’s "is" defense. (Sun)

You also know you’re having a bad day if there are extensive postings about you over on the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, and you’re not even in [...]

Bad Role Model

Looks like Bob Beers figured if you can’t beat a sleezeball, philandering, drunken napkinhead in the race for Governor of Nevada, you might as well join ‘im.

Beersie seems to be emulating putative Governor Jim Gibbons’ shady money grubbing. Bob Beers has rubbed up against ex-Gib-blossom campaign manager Bob Uithoven, who may have been soliciting campaign contributions [...]

In The Zone

The Twilight Zone with State Senator Bob Beers, that is.

The Sun ran a bit on the spinning skills of the Senator today, in which we learn:

…Despite what Bobbo says, Nevada hangs out with the bottom dwellers in terms of taxes per capita.

…Despite what Bobbo says, you got to build a "modern" road different if it’s going [...]

Broken Promise

Just about everybody promised reform of Nevada’s stupid campaign contribution laws. Gibbons was promising reform back in 1997, a good ten year track record of nothing, and just to add insult to injury, he restated that false promise recently Secretary of State Ross Miller reiterated his campaign promise recently when he chickened out of confronting Gibbons [...]

Where’s Bogden?

I noted in that last post that Bogden and Gibbons were having a bit of trouble getting their stories straight about how much they know each other. The RGJ chimes in:

‘Gibbons said Thursday he "would not know who Daniel Bogden is if the
man walked in here and stood in front of me" and said he had [...]
