Nevada gubernatorial candidate Brian Sandoval thinks "job hopping" is a virtue in running for the governorship.
However, this comment caught my eye:
Hey Brian, Mr. Honor and Integrity. Tell us all about Neena. You remember her. C'mon, let's hear it. Everyone is talking about it. Everyone knows. At least Ensign confessed and apologized.
Who is "Neena"?

Oprah gets slapped with a defamation lawsuit.
She'll settle out of court rather than be dragged through the mud.
Winfrey has too big a mouth, it seems:
Winfrey suggested during the meeting with parents and a subsequent satellite news conference that Mzamane was not trustworthy and tried to cover up the allegations of abuse, according to the suit filed in Sept. 2008.
"I trusted her," Winfrey said of Mzamane during a meeting with parents. "When I appointed her, I thought she was passionate about the children of Africa . . . but I have been disappointed."
Mzamane, who now lives in Kenya, claimed Winfrey's comments made it impossible for her to find work for nearly a year.
Winfrey attempted to have the suit thrown out. But on Monday, a federal judge dismissed her request.
In a 128-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Eduardo C. Robreno concluded statements Winfrey made were "capable of defamatory meaning."
"The implication that [Mzamane] was aware of abuse . . . ascribes conduct which would render her unfit for her profession as an educator," Robreno wrote.
The judge ordered the trial to begin March 29.
