Somewhere before he cursed at a Vegas investigative reporter on television and after he took his girlfriend to Washington on the taxpayer's dime, Jim Gibbons saved education.

You only saw this yarn in the Las Vegas Review-Journal (without of course the perspective of the Gibbons girlfriend angle).

Perhaps Vogel thinks he can get away with this because he attributes the BS to Gibbons' spokesman Dan Burns.

"CARSON CITY -- Gov. Jim Gibbons has found additional money that will remove the need to force teachers to take a 1.75 percent salary cut during the next school year, his spokesman said Monday."

Actually, the governor did nothing of the sort. The additional money has nothing to do with the state's share of funding the schools. And, in Clark County alone the proposed 10 percent cuts, which would result in either 2,300 layoffs and massive class size increases or lopping 17 days off the school year are still completely on the table.

Gibbons didn't find any revenue. In fact, his budget wonk, Andrew Clinger, testified to that reality Tuesday during a public hearing in the Assembly.

The fact the Vogel story is the most read on the RJ website is interesting in itself. Is it most read because nobody can believe the paper would publish something so patently false? Or is it most read because people believed it to be true and thought Gibbons actually did save education while he was off on his booty junket.
