Who says politics cannot be fun?
George Buffett of Albuquerque wants to replace Mickey Barnett as the New Mexico GOP’s national committeeman. Noting that Barnett is a lobbyist for Santa Ana Pueblo and Correction Corporation of America, among others, Buffett recently wrote:
"The Republican Party should not be for sale."
Funny? But wait, here’s more proof of the joy of politics:
The Sandoval County Republican Central Committee censured Victoria Dunlap, the Republican County Clerk, for bringing "disgrace" to the party…"
Dunlap is the loose cannon who has tried to marry gay couples in defiance of state law.
GOP County Chairman Richard Gibbs said "Other than assassination, all we can do is censure her."
Wheee! A sense of humor. Give the guy a hand.
Of course, the Albuquerque Journal chastised Gibbs in an editorial this morning. Talk about political correctness.
PS There is nothing funny, of course, in the Sandoval GOP’s stand against gay marriage.
