Mucky Nevada Gov. Files for Divorce

To call Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons’ tenure troubled doesn’t quite capture it.

It started off with a bang with accusations that he’d drunkenly assaulted a cocktail waitress in a parking garage in the middle of the night. That probe was eventually closed due to insufficient evidence. And then there’s the federal investigation as to whether he took bribes from a defense contractor while he was a congressman. And now he’s seeking a very public divorce from his wife.
