Governor Stops Hearing to Text

As Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons began to testify to a Senate Committee about his energy bill, he paused the whole thing to respond to a text message.

Watch and listen for yourself.

The state of Nevada and Governor Gibbons have fundamental and irreconcilable differences.

Impeach the son of a bitch!

Even if Gibbons was turning off his phone, that doesn't mean he isn't the shittiest Governor Nevada has ever had.

Glad this guy is out of office, go Governor Sandoval!

@soulsilver2010 That's yet to be seen: Sandoval that is, not Gov. Gibbons being gone for good. Actually on second thought, the jury is still out on both.

@DeltaSigChi4 Too late now. But it's better. He's gone. For good. Thank god Sandoval has at least some idea of how to run a state.

[soulsilver2010]

Yup, he's that stupid.

So unprofessional

For 13 seconds he was turning it off??? He used several keystrokes and people were snickering in the background. Yeah, ok.

It was another reminder from Chancellor Rogers. The text says, "Hello Jim, just wanted to mention Nevada still thinks you are their worst mistake ever."

Now you know.

wonder what would happen if one of us did that in a normal court hearing???? and think, that son of a bitch gets his salary from our taxes. we also pay his mobile bill.... I would understand if he had turned it to silent but writing a SMS during the hearing shows his lack of seriousness for his bill and his whole profession.
