VIDEO: Oops! Climate change denier Gov. Jan Brewer’s caught-on-camera Moment of Cranky

 

At about :50, you can see a rather irked Arizona Governor Jan Brewer (or as my pal @Geoff9Cow likes to call her, Gov. Ashtray) didn’t realize the KTVK-TV  camera was still rolling when she said, “Where in the hell did that come from?” in response to a question about climate change.

When she was asked about whether human beings have had any responsibility for giving Mother Earth a rising fever, she said:

“Everybody has an opinion on it, you know, and I probably don’t believe that it’s man made. I believe, you know, that weather elements are controlled maybe by different things.”

Climate deniers like Brewer are creating preventable disasters that will affect generations to come. And unbelievably, Neanderthals like these still hold positions of power:

Marco Rubio is unsure how old the Earth is. He is a member of the Senate’s Commerce, Science, & Transportation Committee.

Michele “Man-Made Climate Change is ‘Manufactured Science” Bachmann sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

The soon-to-be forgotten moron on climate change, Todd “legitimate rape” Akin, sits on the Science Committee, as does Paul Evolution, Embryology and Big Bang Theory are “lies straight from the pit of hell, Climate Change is a Hoax” Broun.

Global warming skeptic Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) set to chair House Science Committee.

This is all just a bad dream, right? Please?

VIDEO: AZ Gov. Jan Brewer: “I know if President Obama is elected in November, which I hope he is…”

I know if President Obama is elected in November, which I hope he is, he will be able to come together with all of us and come up with a solution. I believe he will secure our borders. And therefore, we can resolve all of the other issues as a simple matter.”

Thank you Tommy Christopher at Mediaite! I was watching the GOP convention coverage and saw Brewer say this last night. Then I thought, no, no I didn’t, I must have misheard her.

Turns out I heard correctly!

And she was right about securing our borders. Border crossings have plunged.

Brewer for Obama! Looks like it’s our turn to wag our collective finger in her Papers Please face.

Raw VIDEO of meeting ADDED! Surprise! Gov. Jan Brewer’s version of exchange with President Obama looks to be, well, exaggerated

VIDEO ADDED. H/t: Reader BellPeppery, via Denver Post.

First of all, for those who have asked, “Where was the Secret Service?” the above photo should provide you with an answer. (Speaking of photos, compare and contrast)

Next of all, it looks like this so-called “tense”, confrontational, finger-in-Obama’s-face exchange wasn’t all that Jan Brewer cracked it up to be. Quel surprise.

Remember, she claimed that the president walked away “mid-sentence” and she felt “a little bit threatened”.

She should have felt a little bit respectful.

Mayor Scott Smith of Mesa wouldn’t divulge all the details about what he heard, but TPM provides his version:

President Obama didn’t exactly walk away from Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) during their disagreement on Wednesday on an airport tarmac near Phoenix, said one of the only people to witness the exchange up close. The president simply began talking to the other two elected officials who were there to greet him. [...]

[T]he mayor said he was standing right next to the governor when the exchange took place and Obama didn’t seem to be in any kind of hurry to leave… In fact, he said, the president stayed and had a pleasant conversation with Smith, who’s a Republican, and Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, a Democrat.

He called it an “awkward moment.” It appears the president wasn’t uppity a scary black man a threat after all.

Jan Brewer’s lack of credibility remains intact.

More at TPM.

PhotOH! Two Sides of Arizona

Two sides of Arizona, indeed. To quote the wickedly witty Andy Borowitz:

Jan Brewer Caption Contest: “See this finger? This is what I use to order another round.

The most shocking thing about the Jan Brewer photo is that she appears to be standing upright.

I’m fairly confident we could solve the illegal immigration problem if we posted a picture of Jan Brewer at the border.

Before we all get in an uproar, Jan Brewer does the exact same thing to bartenders when they threaten to cut her off.

Jan Brewer: “No one relates more to headless bodies than I do.”

The shocking thing about the Jan Brewer photo is that her finger stopped shaking long enough to put it in his face.
