Gibbons, first lady fail to reach accord in divorce

By ED VOGEL
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL CAPITAL BUREAU

RENO — No settlement agreement was reached in Gov. Jim Gibbons' divorce case today after 5 and a half hours of closed-door talks with a Washoe County judge.

The governor and first lady Dawn Gibbons failed to approve a proposed settlement that would give her a monthly support payment and their Reno home -- on the market for $1.1 million -- and would give him property they own in Lamoille.

    jim has his belt loose, she has a skrew loose wrote on October 14, 2009 07:21 PM: Jim always has his belt loose and she's got a skrew loose. I'm guessing he was busy texting the wives of other men during the hearing. She was probably busy talking to the voices in her head during the hearing.

    When are these two wingnuts gonna say adios to Nevada? Isn't Arizona nice year round?


    politics is a &h!+ Magnet wrote on October 14, 2009 07:16 PM: How much longer are we going to have to put up with this pathetic cast of characters? Jim, Dawn, John, Cindy, Doug, and their handlers prove the old adage that politics is a &h!+ magnet!


    Maybe Ensign Can Set Jimbo Up with Cyndy Hampton wrote on October 14, 2009 07:14 PM: Hey, maybe John Ensign can help his good buddy Jim Gibbons out. Would Cyndy Hampton be interested in a date with the Goobner? A chick who would date a loser like Ensign might be impressed by a wackjob like Gibbons; she's obviously not very picky.


    Losers Like Jim and Dawn Gibbons wrote on October 14, 2009 07:04 PM: It's nice to see how the World's Worst Governor and his Crazy A&& Wife are respecting the sanctity of marriage. Is it gays and lesbians who are threatening traditional marriage or is it losers like these????


    To Dan wrote on October 14, 2009 06:29 PM: obviously you have never been through a divorce... lucky you. Not a negotiation type setting, more of a battlefeild.

    Besides who CARES!!!! his and her personal business, has nothing to do with the operation of the state.

    before you beat me up, no I didnt vote for him and I want him out of office.
