Friggin’ Hilarious

Friggin’ Hilarious

This is truly hilarious. After the Wednesday debate trainwreck, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer says she’s done with debates. In fact, according to Brewer herself, not some random person trying to besmirch her integrity but Brewer herself, she only did the first debate because she thought it would help her get $1.7 million or more in public funds to campaign with.

Good that she’s for small government.

She also has a new explanation for why she said there was an epidemic of beheadings in her state even though there appear to have been none. She now says she never explicitly said she was referring to Arizona and in fact she was talking about only the worldwide background noise level of beheadings that is taking place all the time.
