Yeah, we really blew it there. Lost our chance to elect a narcissistic dunce who resigned half way through her first and only term as guv to sign a lucrative contract to host a reality TV show and to avoid an investigation into her use of state employees to pursue a vendetta against a private individual. Pity, with her as prez we might be winning the "War on Christmas".
