“Affairs of State”

In Nevada, divorce papers for Governor Jim Gibbons’ were released, in which his wife alleges his infidelity with 2 other women. Many constituents consider the matter a breach of public trust. Even worse, other governors consider it a breach of the unwritten “One Mistress Rule.”

When the governor was confronted with sending 860 text messages to one woman on his state-issued cell phone, the governor apologized and reimbursed the state the $130 in text charges. At least the governor saved tax payers’ money by paying for his own booty call.

Nevada economists agree, in a state where paying for sex is legal, $130 is not bad.
