Right-Wing Arizona Gov Jan Brewer Totally Screws Up 1st Debate, Flees Reporters

In last night’s Arizona gubernatorial debate, right-wing Governor Jan Brewer tried to list her accomplishments. It went poorly:

Later, in an exchange about the economy, her opponent, Attorney General Terry Goddard, pointed out that Brewer’s fearmongering about violence in Arizona did not do great things for the state’s financial prospects. He then called on Brewer to recant her totally made-up claim that illegal immigrants were running around beheading people in the Arizona desert. Naturally, Brewer evaded the question.

Afterwards some reporters had the gall to continue the line of questioning, asking Brewer if she still stood by her completely made up story. She was clearly too flustered to dissemble or lie, so she just ran away.
