Kate Brown Sworn In as Oregon Governor, Replacing John Kitzhabe [career "bumps and criticism"]
New York Times ^ | February 18, 2015 | KIRK JOHNSON

".............Her career has not been without bumps and criticism.

The Oregonian, the largest newspaper in the state, as well as Ms. Brown’s hometown paper, endorsed her opponent, a Republican, in her 2012 re-election race for secretary of state, partly because she had delayed an election – elections are a function of the secretary of state’s office — in ways that seemed, the paper said, politically calculated to help a Democrat.

..........She also got a black eye last month when the online publication, The Verge, citing email records, said she was among a group of politicians around the nation who had sent letters supporting the cable giant Comcast’s merger with Time Warner Cable – letters that had been drafted, the paper said, by Comcast itself, which also contributed financially to Ms. Brown’s political campaigns, the article said......."

The following is satire:

At Gov. Brown's inauguration, she celebrated by engaging in a "Burning Man" type bacchanal during which an actual man was burned!

The man, whose name was Leafy Green (formerly Roderick Hugh Pearson Jr.), volunteered for the immolation claiming that he had formerly been a Christian and a banker. He described his conversion to Gaia worship that occurred at a "Love the Earth" powwow during which he (in his words) "literally loved the Earth", and that his death by fire would be both a penance and an opportunity to become one with Gaia.

During the giant bonfire which was lit in front of the capital building in Salem (hint, hint), the newly inaugurated governor and her life partner, Shaniquillatta Mankiller-Bombo, danced naked in an orgiastic frenzy while Mr. Green screamed something about changing his mind.

Oregonians were generally delighted with this display and their new governor except for one Northwest Portland native who described herself as a super-duper-radical vegan, and decried the death of Mr. Green as "typical patriarchal meat cooking that despoils the environment".

I'm confused.

She's married to a man, but she's "bisexual"?

As to whether she will be a good governor, well, she could go either way.

She also would not follow the law on disposal of unused ballots after the 8pm voting deadline. Why? Did she need them to use for the democrat candidate that might need a few more votes to assure victory? As Secretary of State it was her job to adhere to the law. Portland always found ballots in someone’s truck or you name the useful hiding place.

She is a crooked democrat operative.

A special election in 2016 which means another chance. I bet she is a weak candidate.

Right, but does that automatically mean she's a polyamorist or a swinger?

I'm confused as to why this is something that is broadcast, or how someone in her situation can "come out".

Prayers for Oregonians who didn’t vote for these moonbats. Going from Kitzhaber to Brown is from bad to worse.

OR is probably glad to have a “Brown” as governor just like their silly neighbors to the south.

She has to face a special election, so fortunately Oregon voters will have the opportunity to follow the adage that served California well before it plunged into darkness... “If it’s Brown, flush it down.”

Is the special election in November 2016; then she can be the third candidate on the HRC ticket that will probably get 70 percent in OR.

The high-water mark in OR for a Dem Presidential candidate was 57%in 2008 which dropped to 54% in 2012. I’d expect Hillary, if she is nominated, would get no more than in that range. Of course, the entire state is held hostage by the radical ultraleftist extremism of Portland’s Multnomah County. Remove it and OR becomes a GOP state again.
