Republicans Cover Up Assault –updated–
| Nevada sleaze Jim Gibbons. |
Enter a big Nevada Republican boss.
More sex stuff from the “family values” party. Jim Gibbons is still trying
to convince people he wasn't hiding in the bushes before he ambushed some broad. TPM Muckraker is on it, too.
If Dina Titus can't take advantage of this one this state will never go Democratic. She's getting some powerful help on Monday from former general Wes Clark. You're invited if you're around. The story below ought to help Titus, too. Frankly, Gibbons is a sleazebag. Titus would be a breath of fresh air, but just about anyone would compared to Gibbons.
The police acknowledge receiving three 911 calls from Mazzeo on the night
of Oct. 13. But the record shows there are several inconsistencies and contradictions
about her whereabouts and her occupation.Mazzeo now explains that by saying, “At the time, I was so hysterical.
I said a lot of stuff.”She also repeated her original claim to police that she and Puhek lingered
for about 20 minutes in the bar after Gibbons and his adviser left.“He [Gibbons] was waiting by the bushes,” she said. “Why
else would he be waiting in the rain?”Mazzeo's attorney, Richard Wright, said Puhek told his client, “There's
money in this. You will get money from signing this,” a reference to
a statement recanting her claims.Wright also claimed there's evidence that will corroborate Mazzeo's account
of what transpired. Hotel security systems, photos a police technician took
of Mazzeo's purported injuries, phone records and interviews with witnesses
all exist, he said.The Las Vegas Review-Journal now reports that Wright, Mazzeo's attorney,
has criticized the police. The paper said Wright claims that police “never
bothered to interview Gibbons' campaign aide or the two other women at the
table in the restaurant, where a witness described the atmosphere as 'flirty
and dirty.' “
MEET DINA and GENERAL WES CLARK
UPDATE (10:55 a.m.): Jon Porter feels guilty… not, but he should.
