Well, our good governor has done it again. We now know that he is indeed a leftist, as opposed to a liberal, he has appointed an individual who believes 9/11 was a hoax, supports Charlie Sheen, supported Daniel Ortega, opposed the Contras and wants to play Joe Stalin because he thought he (Stalin) was misunderstood. Good one, Ted. Perhaps Ed can get Michael Moore to come here and make another misleading movie.
