Seriously, in the scope of things, this really isn't a big deal, but I think it belies a bigger problem- help me with the words here. I mean, his sense of humor is bizarre at the least, (Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran) and severely dated and awkward at the most.
In an interview with the Las Vegas Sun, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was asked by columnist Jon Ralston why he didn't choose Gov. Jim Gibbons to chair his Nevada campaign.
"I appreciate his support," McCain said. "As you know, the lieutenant governor is our chairman."
Why snub the governor? Ralston asked.

Maybe it's the governor's approval rating and you are running from him like you are from the president? Asked Ralston in a question McCain clearly found loaded.
Said McCain, chuckling, "And I stopped beating my wife just a couple of weeks ago."

But considering the subject McCain was discussing at the time, to allude to that joke was, well, .....awkward!
Gov. Gibbons last month filed for divorce from his wife Dawn citing incompatiblity.
It's pretty scandalous. The Reno Gazette-Journal recently reported that one month Gibbons sent 860 text messages to a woman with whome Mrs. Gibbons suspects her husband of stepping out.
Gibbons you may recall started his governorship amidst accusations that he assaulted a cocktail waitress named Chrissy Mazzeo three weeks before Election Day. Mazzeo said Gibbons grabbed her in a parking garage and threatened to sexually assault her. Charges were never filed.
