Gov. Jan Brewer: Cracking Under Pressure

After being catapulted into celebrity (or notoriety) following the passage of Arizona's draconian SB 1070, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer's performance at public appearances has been very hit or miss. 

In April, she said her new law didn't do anything to secure the border and in June insisted she had no clue about the president's plans for border security.

Earlier this week, Brewer expressed outraged over a United Nations report that, based on her comments about it, she clearly didn't read (or didn't understand). 

During her first gubernatorial debate last night, she was unable to answer to her false claims about headless bodies lying in the desert and literally walked away from reporters who tried to follow up. 

And her opening statement was less than professional:

While it is understandable that someone thrust into the national limelight would stumble a bit as they get used to the stress and attention, it is inexcusable that Brewer is using her new fame to promote falsehoods about the state of immigration both in Arizona and nationally. 

If conservatives are determined to lie about immigration through powerful mouthpieces, they should consider finding a new puppet.  This one's broken.
