Jimbo Eruptions

Jimbo decided to be interviewed about his divorce from long-suffering wife Dawn and said he plans on dating again (and he hasn't been dating other women he's been seen with, mind you), and, no, he doesn't have a girlfriend.

He does have a thing for being friends with doctors' wives, however.

Here is the television clip. There will be more, apparently:

"What I want to tell people is that I'm just like they are, I don't want to be a lonely Governor, I'm going through a divorce. I'm in the middle of a very painful time in my life, this has been going on, my wife and I have been separated for about 7 months. I really think that people should expect, and will, see me with my friends out to dinner, wherever, going to a rodeo, that shouldn't be a newsworthy thing."

According to the report, he seemed to be "relieved" in double talking around the questions.

The Gleaner writes about this latest damage control stunt.

Speaking of his close friends, Leslie Durant has been cited in the July 4 weekend hit-and-run in her neighborhood:

Reno police have cited Leslie Sferrazza Durant for careless driving and hit-and-run in connection with an early-morning crash on her street during the Fourth of July weekend.

Durant, a recent companion of Gov. Jim Gibbons, must appear in court on the two misdemeanor charges but was not booked into jail.

Tune in the for the next installment.
