Arizona governor Jan Brewer, whom the media will remind you is a Republican governor, had an interesting thing happen to her on the way to the airport. She went to the airport to meet the President, who was arriving on a visit.

Shortly after leaving the plane, the President allegedly lit up into her about some comments she made in a book, in which she described him as patronizing and dismissive. The President, as we keep hearing from different sources on both sides of the aisle, apparently is a big freaking crybaby about everything, and scolded her right on the tarmac about what she wrote.

The MSM generally reconstructs the confrontation with the President giving her an earful, because as you know, he is all-powerful and paternal, whereas she is just some dumb Republican woman. But the photos (one is provided above) show a very different bit of body language.

Perhaps the Governor is reminding the President that, thanks to that pesky Constitution, she does not report to him, and he does not have the right to treat her with disrespect in her own state in front of her own staff. Perhaps she reminded him that Arizona is a perfect example of his failed policies, and that his visit here is partially because of the massive screw up he caused on his inane and absent immigration enforcement policies.

The Governor said that the exchange ended well, with her inviting him for a return visit in which he can actually see the tragedy happening on the border, as well as have a nice lunch to talk about things in an adult manner. The President’s staff is not describing the incident in any on-the-record detail, which unfortunately shows who really won any contest between them.

The Czar of Muscovy

Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
