Arizona Governor's Jan Brewer MELT DOWN!

BRAVATRAVELS
From a Politico.com

The federal government has posted signs along a major interstate highway in Arizona, more than 100 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, warning travelers the area is unsafe because of drug and alien smugglers, and a local sheriff says Mexican drug cartels now control some parts of the state. The signs were posted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) along a 60-mile stretch of Interstate 8 between Casa Grande and Gila Bend, a major east-west corridor linking Tucson and Phoenix with San Diego. They warn travelers that they are entering an "active drug and human smuggling area" and they may encounter "armed criminals and smuggling vehicles traveling at high rates of speed." Beginning less than 50 miles south of Phoenix, the signs encourage travelers to "use public lands north of Interstate 8" and to call 911 if they "see suspicious activity." Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu, whose county lies at the center of major drug and alien smuggling routes to Phoenix and cities east and west, attests to the violence. He said his deputies are outmanned and outgunned by drug traffickers in the rough-hewn desert stretches of his own county. "Mexican drug cartels literally do control parts of Arizona," he said. "They literally have scouts on the high points in the mountains and in the hills and they literally control movement. They have radios, they have optics, they have night-vision goggles as good as anything law enforcement has. "This is going on here in Arizona," he said. "This is 70 to 80 miles from the border - 30 miles from the fifth-largest city in the United States." He said he asked the Obama administration for 3,000 National Guard soldiers to patrol the border, but what he got were 15 signs. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer condemned what she called the federal government's "continued failure to secure our international border," saying the lack of security has resulted in important natural recreational areas in her state being declared too dangerous to visit.

    • Well, that was anti-climactic. From reading the title I expected her to cry hysterically, gnaw on her own hand or throw a tantrum on the floor. Instead she simply made a few grammatical errors and paused awkwardly. That's hardly a meltdown. I was kind of disappointed. This doesn't really do her craziness any justice.

      it is actualy a step beyond, as palin referenced her notes and this one just shut down.
      it would be like if couric asked her what do you read, and the response was either 10 seconds of silence, or a complete change in topic.this az freak makes palin look smart, and that is rough to do

    • if anything, she was simply ill prepared for this particular television broadcast. saying that she had a "MELTDOWN(OMG!!!!!)" is farfetched at best.

      i'm also wondering why this is in "comedy"...

      are you also going to pretend that the question of whether she lied or not about the headless corp. The public or the press never got a response from her. Why didn't she answer? Stop the racism... We immigrants are the Modern slaves... This has to stop. -_-

      um no that wasnt ill prepared.ill prepared would have been getting the beheading question and saying "i dont have those figures at hand at the moment, but at the time i said it, that were the figures told to me.upon further evaluation you may be right, but lets make that a debate issue as i am strong on security."or any variation on this would have walked the most basic middle of the road line.even palins "ill get those numbers to ya" showed a functioning mind more so than this womans literal ignorance of the question.

      it is in comedy cuz it is train wreck style funny, so rare but so precious.

    • the disturbing part is the reaction of the conservatives saying, " she did not have a teleprompter" why would she need a teleprompter just to remember a least 3 things she has done since she's been in office. She is incompetent and a lier. What rebuttal can you used to explain her lying about headless corpses. She uses propagandas and lies to manipulate the populist. Arizona is going down....

    • Omg, I saw this yesterday. She crashed and burned like a WWI biplane being intercepted by a modern heat-seeking missile.

      The most embarrassing part is when she fled the journalist room after they demanded her to answer if she did or did not stand by her comment on the alleged "beheadings in the desert"... She tried to play it off but when they all started asking her she just blatantly left... Ouch.

      if you watch her eyes when the last guy flat out asked why she wont answer the question, for a moment it looked like she was dying inside.just before she turned around and left it seemed like she was about to be reduced to tears.not a leader.

      a slip of the tongue?
      that is like saying the holocaust were just a few isolated incidents of antisemitism.
      she sat in silence with out a clue what to do.she spoke in broken english that 3rd graders could call out the gramatical errors.she made strategery look like high verbage in comparison.she didnt answer questions, but just spouted random talking points from her stump speech's.

      if that wasnt enough she continued this beyond the scope of the television show in the face of direct questions from the media.it was as if everyone but her were having one experience and she was just jumping from thought to thought irrespective of the subject at hand.

      slip of the tongue is the a-bomb of understatements

      how about we just go after those who employ them.seems more reasonable and isnt us swinging our giant military dick where it doesnt belong yet again.
      if we arrest drug dealers for facilitating drug abuse, why are we not arresting employers who facilitate this abuse?
      we have all the domestic means needed.but we like ur $1 hamburgers a lil too much.

    • I wouldn't really call that a meltdown but it does seem like lack of sleep, meds, or something had her frazzled. Could happen to anybody in a highly charged political office. John McCain has had similar moments, maybe there is something in the water in AZ.

      I can understand the human element in all of this, but it seemed to me like she could barely talk about what she'd done for the state. We don't need anymore meek politicians. If you're going to talk shit, like she does all the time, do it with confidence.

    • The proof is in the pudding, Gov. Brewer was so inept and at a loss for words, she has shown her intellect. Its way short of what constituants deserve. When a person who has served 600 days cannot recite the positives they have been responsible for they are unqualified to govern. When a person who governs loses a train of thought and cannot recover, they are unqualified to govern.
      To be able to maintain a train of thought and to express it are non existent, they should not be in office. The people of Arizona deserve better. We will now evaluate the intelligence of the Arizona electorate. Should they re-elect her the people of Arizona are idiots.

    • Since violent crime in borders towns across the US is at a 20 year low, I'd say the cartels are doing a better job than local law ernforcement. Obama has, in fact, agreed to send 1200 troops to the border, so I would say that they have reached an agreement that is benificial to all. And also, since asking for ID is not going to stop heavily armed drug trafickers from entering the US, Arizona can pretty much go f*ck itself.

      so if there is no basis in fact to any of this, then why did the government even bother with the signs?

      and seeming dumb on current is not something I lose sleep over, but thanks for the heads up.

      Signs warn citizens about areas that may not be safe. Why would you have a problem with that? Your lie is pretending the signs are in lieu of anything else rather than just a simple, common sense extra step.

      Your lack of concern for the level of intelligence displayed in your posts is obvious to everyone. It need not be stated.

      First of all, I didn't write the damn article, I posted an opinion on what they were saying in the article, so whatever lie it is you are trying to attribute to me is bullshit. Did you even bother to read what the signs say? Signs "warning travelers the area is unsafe because of drug and alien smugglers" is cause for concern. Do you have a clue what is even going on in Mexico, and please, don't talk to me about "level of intelligence" because I'm pretty sure you can't even define the word intelligence. I daresay what really offends you is the fact that I'm not afraid to think for myself or use profanity when I feel so inclined.

      and I don't know who your "everyone" is, but you and the mouse in your mom's basement do not constitute an "everyone."

      Now stop pissing me off or I'll find JJ and sic him on you.

      You took a brilliant, articulate, calm, good-natured, reasonable and ridiculously hard-working man from a poor, single-parent family, who got himself into the best school in the world, turned down high-paying legal positions to dedicate himself to under served communities, became independently wealthy anyway and then became the President of the United States despite being black and having an Islamic name in a nation teeming with racists...You took this epitome of the American Dream and you stoked a hatred for him and made him out to be the worst example of un-Americanism you've ever seen.

      And now you wonder why your dishonest, hypocritical cause is being championed by ignorant, inarticulate, uncomposed, silver-spoon licking, hard-line reactionaries? Amazing.

      uhhh, excuse me but I voted for Obama, and will more than likely do so again, but I am NOT afraid to have an opinion that falls out of line with the mainstream of his followers, and if I don't agree with him, or you, or anyone else, I will let you know. That's why we call this a free country.

      I made a comment on policy, not a man whom I have great respect for...and I fail to see how asking why Arizona got nothing more than 15 signs is doing all of the horrible things your idiocy just stated I am doing to Obama. Where the hell is the connection between questioning a policy or inaction of government, and stoking a hatred for Obama? Trust me, he doesn't need your moronic defense.

      If you had taken a minute or two to look at my profile and previous responses, you would have known that I am not a Republican, and yes, I did look at your profile and previous responses before replying to you.

      God, read a little before you go shooting off, would you? Ignorant people are afraid to question anything...and that's why they stay ignorant.

      No, it wasn't nicely said at all....it didn't even relate to the comment I made, and I expect better from you tv1...you at least appear to read before you comment, and not read into someone's statements what is not there.

      People comment on current all the time about how defensive people on this site are about Obama, and this is a perfect case in point. I was an Obama supporter long before he ever got the nomination, but just because you support someone doesn't mean that you are afraid to question them, their decisions, their policies, or their failure to act. It is our duty to question, not blindly defend by attacking anyone who dares to question.

      I care about Mexican drug cartels literally controlling parts of Arizona. She might be an out-of-date Barbie doll who tried to impose some idiotic legislation, but the border situation is BAD, and it's not just Arizona. The Federal government has a responsibility to protect the citizenry. Isn't that where our taxes should really be going? This is bullshit that Arizona asks for National Guard support and gets signs. Fuck that!
