Jimbo to reporter: "You're full of shit."
That Gibbons. Always a class act.

Gibbons later admitted he DID take Karrasch to Washington.
He also apologized to reporter Jonathan Humbert:
"I apologize for any ambiguity or confusion caused by my answers to your questioning of me late last night. I had just finished three days of arduous meetings and a cross-country flight when I was suddenly confronted with your questions. I admit I was briefly stunned to face your brazen inquiries about my personal life and, I hope understandably, I became defensive. Again, I apologize.
"I would like to set the record straight. Over the weekend I attended the National Governors Association (NGA) Conference in Washington DC. I am Vice-Chair of the Natural Resources Committee and the topic of discussion was the future of renewable energy. It was important for me to be there as Governor of Nevada.
"Kathy Karrasch accompanied me on this trip. Her expenses were NOT paid by the state. She did NOT attend any of the NGA meetings. The fact that she accompanied me added absolutely no taxpayer expense. Kathy Karrasch has been a long time friend of mine and will continue to be a friend of mine. Kathy Karrasch lives near my home in Reno. The fact that I gave her a ride home and a dignitary protection officer helped her into the vehicle is a matter of common courtesy.
"What I do in my private life has nothing to do with my duties as governor. I would like to keep my private life just that—private. I am deeply disappointed that you and KLAS TV would stoop to such a low level for something that is obviously not a news story and is merely meant to smear my name and reputation.
"This is all I intend to say about this and any other matters of a personal nature. I would encourage you, for the benefit of your viewers, to focus on the pressing issues involving the current state budget."
He said in a deposition he hasn't had sex in 15 years, which is very hard to believe:
) According to a recent deposition given by Republican Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons, he has not had sex in 15 years, he didn't sleep with a former Playboy model, and perhaps most surprisingly, he doesn't tell jokes very well.
CBS affiliate KLAS-TV reports that Gibbons was recently deposed regarding allegations of an assault that occurred in 2006. The federal civil suit was brought by Chrissy Mazzeo, a cocktail waitress who says that Gibbons assaulted and groped her in a parking lot after spending hours drinking at a Las Vegas restaurant. The alleged assault never resulted in any criminal charges, but on February 5 of this year, the governor was deposed for four hours by Mazzeo's attorney, Bob Kossack. During the deposition, Gibbons claimed that he hasn't been sexually intimate with any woman since 1995, and that he's "living proof that you can survive without sex for that long."
