Politics McWherter: 'I've Never Set Foot in Nantucket'
Posted by Jeff Woods on Tue, Aug 10, 2010 at 2:25 PM
Reporters who had been tricked into attending this event took quick cat naps while McWherter and Givens spoke. Afterward, we leapt back into action and grilled McWherter on the Nantucket issue.
"I can honestly say I've never set foot in Nantucket," said the nonplussed McWherter who confessed he didn't know what we were talking about. After Tom Humphrey briefed McWherter, he seized the opportunity to slap his Republican foe:
"I doubt Bill Haslam knows where Frog Jump is," McWherter asserted. "I certainly do. I drove through there the other day."
Q: So you would say Bill Haslam's not a Frog Jump Republican?
McWherter: I would not think he is.
Q: Are you a Frog Jump Democrat?
McWherter: Uh, I'm a Democrat with working people's values. As I've told you before, I sort of resist labels.

McWherter will never set foot in the governor's office on his own. Daddy's name and friends are the only thing he has going for him.

BTW, if Ken Givens was running for Governor, he would have my vote. He has the experience (legislative and administrative), the intelligence and the temperment to be a good one. Since he's not, I will likely vote Green (as a protest), unless I have moved to New Mexico before November.
Green chiles, hundred mile views, low humidity and paper ballots -- now that is the ticket.
McWherter is playing the silly class warfare game. What we need is a stupid poor governor, right? Given his Daddy's political deals over the years, he likely has quite a trust fund, but that hasn't improved his IQ or his ability to lead.
New Mexico! Yeah. I can dig it "d". Last time I was through there you didn't have to produce ID to buy beer (unless you were obviously under age). They give you a prescription for your stash too. Can't beat that.
The title of this post sounds like the start of a limerick....please, someone help me out.
Eventually, the answers of the candidates will be as stupid as the so-called "news" people who ask tthe questions.
Mc who!!! looks like Jr. wants to run the state. Has he been a Mayor or some type of ex. i dont thank so. But you never know the stupidity in this state (libs) will flock to him weather he can do the job or not!! wanting something for nothing (when Atlas shrugged Ayn Rand 1957) read it!!
Hey Atlas, we don't need a whether-man to know which way the wind blows, think you very much.
Talk about stupidity in this state. (I see you do know how to use "explanation" points though. Spell-check, not so much.)
