Oregon Gov. Retread Follies Continue

Now it's going nationwide. Gov. Retread held a rare presser today at 10 a.m., and managed to make it a whopping 20 minutes before his staffers cut the thing short. Retread was described as looking pale and having a shaky voice, and at one point he asked for a glass of water to wet his windpipe. Mostly, all he said was the same thing over and over: the ethics committee will decide.

He sounded like a weak version of that Sea-Chickens football player who kept saying that he was at the presser to avoid a fine.

He also claimed that she won't serve as an "adviser" this time around. Right. Depending on who you want to believe, his First Squeeze is either in Sweden or Germany, supposedly "on vacation" (she just works so hard, you know).

There are so many stories about this now that really the only thing to do is put the links below.
