Yes Guardian ….only in Idaho?

Risch gets to appoint a Lt. Governor. If that’s the case I’d wager it won’t be Geddes or Davis. My money’s on Little. Any other guesses out there?

ED NOTE–Brad Little is the name we hear most often for Lt. Gov. Risch will run for Lt. Gov. as incumbent Gov. Sorta Like a general running for colonel.

Hollywood Dirk is probably quitting as Gov. where he has done irreparable harm by pimping his “adopted” state. Good deal! Better late than never. I’m certain that his bounced checks, questionable use of “campaign” funds, support of self serving legislation and property tax dereliction will be overlooked as standard operating procedures. Kerry-Heinz, Hillary, Boxer, Feinstein, Kennedy, Schumer, et. al. will probably look upon those practices as admirable.
The REALLY bad news is that he will be in an even better position, for a minimum of three years, to cut even more lucrative deals for himself and to further “service” Idaho. (I take his proud declarations about his years of “service” to Idahoans in the same vein as the artificial breeders who “service” bulls and then impregnate cows. I’m not certain if it makes the bulls smile but I know most of the cows don’t care for it!)
I can almost hear the phone call to Mrs. Gov. “Hey Patty, don’t worry about trying to dig up the ten dollar taxes for the fourteen acres at Tamarack. They are small taters now. I have a shot at the WHOLE henhouse. . .” With any luck, he’ll scam some land in California and go home at the end of his new “service.”
Does anyone know if Dirk will be able to keep and increase his “campaign” funds? How will he survive in even more expensive D.C. without his exclusive petty cash/slush fund account?
Pierre’s, and many other’s, money has been well spent purchasing Dirk. Bet the French foo-foo wine is flowing in unbridled celebrations at Tamarack.

Risch is now Governor… Bad news Otter is still going to move into his ex-Father- in Law’s house as our next Governor ( the Bad news is for JR)
