MUTH’S TRUTHS
- The wheels, lug nuts, shocks, springs and muffler bearings continue to pop off the political clunker congressional campaign of liberal Democrat Erin Bilbray-Kohn. Not only did she recently dump her second campaign manager of the season, but has now lost her fundraising manager. How in the world is this campaign ever going to reach its secret, undisclosed fundraising goals now?
- Let’s avoid the Christmas rush and just go on record now in opposition to public, taxpayer financing of that proposed downtown Las Vegas soccer stadium.
- Sean Whaley of
the LVRJ reported on Thursday that “Assemblyman Paul Aizley, D-Las Vegas,
chairman of the Legislative Committee on Public Lands, said he would not take
up the issue (of pursuing state control of federal land in Nevada) during a
work session of the panel.” This
reportedly outraged Republicans on the committee. Alas, no press release/statement was issued
from Assembly Minority Leader Pat Hickey
or his stand-for-nothing-fall-for-
anything caucus that afternoon when the story was, um, news. Instead, we can probably expect such a release sometime today – a meaningless “Friday dump” that no one will pay any attention to. And I’ll bet it’s as lame as that horse my wife bet on in the first race at Del Mar on Wednesday that didn’t even make it halfway around the track and is now awaiting a gubernatorial pardon at the glue factory!
- Republican lieutenant governor candidate Mark Hutchison continues to ask the vast majority of Nevada citizens who weren’t born here to vote for him because he’s a third generation Nevadan. Talk about being tone-deaf to your customers.
- Democrat Assemblyman Elliot Anderson tweeted: “I can't speak for all Dems. I support getting rid of the Gibbons 2/3 initiative so we can have tax policy and not tax politics.” I think he’s dead wrong. I think he IS speaking for all Democrats. And probably for what passes for Republican “leadership” in the state Senate and Assembly caucuses, as well!
- I took a friendly $100 wager this week with a longtime subscriber on whether or not Republican congressional candidate Annette Teijeiro will beat Democrat incumbent Rep. Dina Titus in the CD1 race. I would be THRILLED to have to pay up on this bet, but instead am already planning on how to spend the money.
- The LVRJ reported on Thursday that six insurance agents have filed a lawsuit claiming that the failed SandovalCare health insurance exchange in Nevada “and its website contractor, Xerox, have failed to pay commissions on coverage they sold through the exchange’s Nevada Health Link website.” None of the Above in the gubernatorial race is looking more and more like the way to go!
- Clark County GOP chief “Dave for Himself” McKeon recently sent out an email boasting of raising $249,308.31 from Republican donors since his election a year ago. He then went on to boast of donating a whopping total of $3,000 of that lucre to all of six Republican candidates. That’s barely 1 percent of the take! Um, “Dave for Himself,” where’d the other $246,308.31 go???
- Why do companies, when faced with a customer complaint, fail to resolve the complaint right then and there and keep the customer, rather than blowing off the customer’s complaint and then spending the next few years trying, without a prayer of success, to get the customer back? Two prime examples come immediately to mind in my case: DISH Network and, regretfully, the WWE Network.
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“Nevada’s 3rd District is barely regarded as competitive at
this point.” – Nathan Gonzales in Roll Call on Democrat Erin Bilbray-Kohn’s faltering
campaign to unseat Republican Rep. Joe Heck
