Join former United States Senate Pages Dylan and Ethan Ris as they bring you the dish on not just the presidential race but all the exciting triumphs and disgraces inside, outside, and below the Beltway!

This Week's Politician in Trouble! The Pages are sad to report that, while what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, what happens in Carson City becomes national news! Just ask Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons, who recently got booted from his official mansion to the gutter amidst a messy divorce.

Gibbons' estranged wife Dawn has remained in the state residence, however, using it as a bully pulpit to accuse her husband of cheating on her with the wife of a Reno podiatrist, an allegation the Republican Governor denies. We Pages don't know whom to believe, so we suggest that Gibbons take a cue from fellow divorcee Rudy Giuliani and crash on the couch at his gay friends' apartment until the storm blows over.

But even if he's staying at a fleabag motel on the Vegas Strip, we're sure the Governor will keep busy, most likely by writing angry letters to the Elko Daily Free Press and shoving cocktail waitresses in parking garages.

Still, this incident comes amid a streak of bad publicity for Gibbons, highlighted by his determined non-response to a Hepatitis infestation and his embarrassing loss of the state's entire education budget on the craps table at Caesar's Palace.

The good news is that Gibbons isn't up for reelection until 2010, which gives him over two years to figure out a way to sneak back into his mansion. However, look for a strong challenge from Democrat Jack Carter, who will run on a three-pronged platform of being Jimmy Carter's son, having an awesome MySpace page, and not being a national disgrace.
