Jan Brewer, Governor of Arizona, announced that she has vetoed bill #SB1062 which would ostensibly give business owners the right to turn away anyone based on their sexual orientation (or whatever) for religious reasons.

Governor Jan Brewer Mysteriously Goes Walkabout

Photobucket

Huffington Post Story
On Tuesday, her office confirmed that she'd visited Army combat medic Mason Steill at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. the day before, but declined to give any further details about her whereabouts.

Brewer left Arizona on Sunday, missing an event to certify election ballots. Secretary of State Ken Bennett, who is serving as acting governor in her absence as mandated by the Arizona Constitution, filled in for Brewer at the proceeding after being told last week that she wouldn't be there to fulfill her duty. She's expected to return to the state on Saturday.

The governor is out of state on official business. That’s all I can disclose at this time.
~ Matthew Benson, Brewer's Spokesman

On Tuesday morning, a FOX 10 viewer reached out to us saying the Governor was visiting her grandson on Monday and sent us a picture.
The viewer's grandson is Mason Steill and he's a soldier recovering from injuries. He is currently being treated at Walter Reed National Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

I didn’t know she was missing.
~ Senator John Kyle, R-AZ, on The Hill

Since I wasn’t home last weekend I didn’t know about this. Jon [Kyl] just told me that there was some issue that she’s not around.
~ Senator John McCain, R-AZ

Plastic surgery update?

She's walking the Appalachian Trail.

She's in the Mayberry jail with Otis.
~ comment by dirkbill on The Hill

One can only assume that she sometimes gets lonely for her home planet.
~ comment by Lee Russ on The Hill

Is Jan Brewer, often called the Lord Byron of the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act, visiting a lover in Bethesda, Maryland, or its environs? Newt Gingrich lives in nearby McLean, Virginia, and has a known affinity for unavailable right-wing blonds. Let your imaginations run wild. Open up the borders of your mind—but no other borders.
~ Vanity Fair

Isn't that her in a commercial flying around on a broom in a broom factory?
~ comment by Tucker43 on Huff Post

I heard someone threw a bucket of water on her.

But her shoes were found sticking out from under that house......
~ comment by MaryFromIL on Huff Post

Hopefully, she's just gone off to have her face sanded.

Ku Klux Klan meeting

Face lift. I hope she comes back all stretched with big ol collagen lips. That would be hilarious.
~ comment by DCBloom on Wonkette

She's visiting her family of Gila Monsters.
~ comment by smokefilledroommate on Wonkette

She's gone walkabout with Carlos Castaneda.
~ comment by BaldarTFlagass on Wonkette

My money is on her returning and looking like Kenny Rogers.
~ comment by LarryKat on Wonkette

C'mon folks - we're better than this. Making fun of someone's appearance because they look like an dried apple head doll is beneath us.

Grinchy AZ Gov Jan Brewer Denies Dreamer Rights

Photobucket

Story from Talking Points Memo
The Republican governor signed an executive order saying Arizona had no plans to give government benefits, including drivers licenses, to the tens of thousands of young, undocumented immigrants in that state who would be getting work permits and immunity from deportation under President Obama’s new immigration policy.

But while the order sounded harsh, at least one high-ranking Democrat in Arizona quickly threw cold water on it, saying Brewer’s declaration appears to be little more than hot air.

“It doesn’t seem to really do anything,” state Senate Democratic Leader David Schapira told TPM. “I see it as her once again trying to grandstand on the issue of immigration.”

. . . Schapira pointed out that Arizona already had a number of strict immigration laws in place, including one that barred illegal immigrants from getting drivers licenses or state issued identification cards. The law may have already been interpreted to bar any newly immune immigrants from getting those state IDs, Schapira said. That means Brewer’s order effectively carried no weight at all.


After the order was issued, supporters of the program and the DREAM Act took to the streets of Phoenix in protest. Video from Air15 showed the protesters carrying signs and walking down Central Avenue toward the State Capitol.
~ ABC 15 in Phoenix, AZ

Denying young people who now can work the opportunity to drive legally, to more comfortably travel from one place to another – to get a job – is just hateful.
. . . The executive order probably wasn't necessary. A press release with a "reminder" about state law most likely would have done the trick, though in a less malicious way.
Issuing an executive order, on the other hand, is a good way to re-emphasize one's venomous feelings toward the Obama administration. And a governor who titles her book "Scorpions for Breakfast" is never lacking for venom.
~ E. J. Montini on Arizona Central

But if all these kids get an education and a good job, who will she get to mow her lawn for fifty cents an hour? And if they all start contributing and earning and paying taxes, how can she feed them into the state's private prisons? Wouldn't having all these productive young immigrants contributing to society take the wind out of the anti-immigrant bigots' sails? And worst of all, wouldn't helping these innocent kids who've grown up here make Obama look good? No, she can't has did none of that!
~ comment by Dem Message Center on AZ Central

ACLU?????
~ comment by Lynne on Arizona Central

Let's think about it...Most of these students/young adults were brought here when Clinton or GW Bush were President. I know it's stunning for some of you Obama haters to realize.
~ comment by Edward on Arizona Central

It was afternoon, which means she'd been drinking. The nickname bestowed on her by staff at the Capitol: Otis. (The town drunk on the Andy Griffith Show.)
~ comment by Patty on Talking Points Memo

Az has been hotter-than-hell this last week. She seems the perfect governor for Hell.
~ comment by Suzi on Talking Points Memo

Shorter Jan Brewer: "We don't want them here at all--whether they're legal or not!"

And your little dog, too.
~ comment by SteveSFM on Huff Post

I bet Jan constantly has to look up to see if a spinning house is coming down on her. Release those flying monkeys Jan.
~ comment by cantbreallife on Huff Post

Phonetically, poetically and quite possibly genetically.... she REALLY should be known as
Jan BRUJA (witch)
~ comment by bella citta on Huff Post

Gov. Brewer makes Cruella DeVille look like Mother Teresa. Does she realize how utterly hideous she looks to the rest of the country? I know she's no beauty queen, but her actions make her like Medusa, you know, the creature with snakes for hair.
~ comment by jannielee on Huff Post

She also signed a provision that forces fair-skinned brunettes to bite a poison apple.
~ comment by hcbrand on Huff Post

Her face certainly is a mirror of her soul.
