FLASHPOINT:

The national media are having a field day with photos published in the state capital’s newspaper, The Nevada Appeal, of Gov. Jim Gibbons with a married woman at the rodeo. The governor continues to insist that he is just friends with the woman, Leslie Durant, and that he had his arm around her because the crowd was loud, so she could hear him (really, he said that). And when pressed by the Sun’s Cy Ryan about the relationship, he declared, “You can talk to Leslie, but I think she will tell you if (there’s something that) takes the romance out of a friendship it’s being there when her child is born. I held her hand when her child was born.” The romance out of the friendship? Does anybody know what this guy is talking about? Does he?
