http://jimromenesko.com/2012/12/05/what-you-didnt-see-in-the-gov-brewer-where-the-hell-did-that-come-from-video/A video of Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer getting testy with KTVK-TVs Dennis Welch after he asked about global warming has gone viral Where in the hell did that [question] come from? she asked but some of their exchange went unreported, according to a newspaper photographer who witnessed it. West Valley Views Michael Clawson says Brewer hit Welch not hard, but without enough force that he spun around to see what was going on.
Clawson writes in an email to Romenesko readers:

(31,849 posts)Does this explain her super-secret disappearance, that is now being reported as her traveling to Afghanistan?
Question for my fellow Arizonans:
What possible state business could our good governor be performing in Afghanistan ... This voter wants to know.

(35,450 posts)She likes to get physical with people when she's angry. This is a sign of an abusive person.

(35,450 posts)But if you cannot physically control yourself when angry, you are indeed an abusive person.

(532 posts)I just simply take the fight to them. I'm just hardened enough to show no regrets. I don't start fights or suckerpunch people like what happened to my brother or what Brewer did.

(34,661 posts)financial hit has Arizona taken since Brewer became Governor? Nobody is talking about the total destruction of their housing market,companies who have bailed for other states,the huge loss of small businesses,big time outward migration of people and not just Hispanics,seems like there aren't any signs of Corporate spending other than stockbrokers expanding their business.
We live near the Arizona border and can say that state is one sick puppy.

(32,097 posts)I live in AZ and yes housing took a hit here just like CA, NV, FL and many other states. There certainly was not "total destruction" as you posted. It is now recovering nicely and houses sell after just a short time on the market. Migration continues to go into AZ which is why we were just awarded another congressional seat. It continues to be one of the fastest growing states. Unemployment is dropping as it is nationally.

If she wasn't such a filthy human being, I might wish her well in her recovery.
