Is a covert smear campaign going on against Gov. Kitzhaber and Cylvia Hayes? As far as I know, Cylvia has absolute integrity, as does Gov. Kitzhaber. Ms. Hayes is well educated and has been dedicated to protection of our environment with her years of continuous work and energy. And she certainly deserves recognition. She should have received the full federal grant for all of her ceaseless work. Is this relentless criticism of her because she happens to be a beautiful, smart woman? Sadly, chauvinism and anti-feminism continue.

Hey Al, you’re partially right! She’s beautiful and smart. As for the integrity part? My problem is that she’s sleeping with the Governor because, well, because he’s the Governor… period. No moral fiber there. The same Governor that married a woman, had a son, then divorced her. Recent studies show that Logan Kitzhaber is much, much more likely to contemplate suicide because of that. (See this recent NY Times article http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/25/sons-of-divorce-fare-worse-than-daughters/?src=me&ref=health ).
They’re both irresponsible skanks, and get what they deserve. As for the chauvinism and anti-feminism stuff, I don’t know where you’re going with that. I voted for Hillary.
