Gov. Jim Gibbons said Monday he’s heard a rumor that Democrats paid the Wall Street Journal to publish stories about his relations with a defense contractor and that the coverage is designed to help Democrats in the 2008 election.

Asked about rumors of a conspiracy among Democrats against him, Gibbons said he heard the same thing but did not name a source.

“I have heard that the Democrats have paid to have these Wall Street Journal articles written,” Gibbons said. The Journal has reported that Gibbons is under investigation by the FBI for allegedly accepting unreported gifts or payments from a Reno company that was awarded secret military contracts when Gibbons was in the U.S. House.

“What this is about, I believe, is that this is about the 2008 election,” Gibbons said. “And it has very little to do with me. It is just that they want to deal with what their interests are in 2008.”

1. and this guy should be forced to PROVE his allegations

or be sued.

[meegbear]

2. I heard a rumor that Gov. Jim Gibbons is a fucktard ...

[Richard Steele]

6. I heard that one too. It was on the internets!

And Gibbons has done nothing to disprove it.

3. Another poor, picked on, put upon, abused republican.

My my my, how the tone has changed since they were running things. They were sure arrogant and cocky enough when they were in charge. Of course, they also proved that they aren't worthy to be in charge, that their naturally dishonest tendencies can't be kept under control.

4. No I don't have any proof. It just stands to reason that Democrats would do that

Also I am convinced that the Democrats told Betty Sue not to go to the senior prom with me. There's no other explanation.

[zbdent]

8. Gee ... he hears a "rumor" (where, in his head?) ... condemn Dems ...

but hey, Faux News and various publishing companies make a fortune from what grew out of the "Attack Clinton" cottage industry, and Hillary is batshit crazy for saying that there's a "right-wing conspiracy" ...

[tanyev]

9. Project much, Guv'nor?

[aquart]

10. The WSJ? Yeah, that'll happen.

I take it that Gibbons is a crook in good standing with the Republican Party?

[Canuckistanian]

11. The Wall St. Journal is FAMOUS for caving in to Democratic wishes

At least, that's what "some people say".

[cooolandrew]

12. They love to pull those allegations right out of their you know whwere...

.. why is anyone buying what a Republican has to say at this point is beyond me.

[AlCzervik]

13. Gibbons is a total mess, if anything he should be pissed at himself for his own

behavior and pissed that he decided to run with his low moral character.

[Nite Owl]

14. Looney conspiracy theorist

Can you imagine what they would do to a dem that came anywhere near saying something like that?

[w4rma]
