Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer gave what can only be described as a cringe-worthy opening statement in her debate against Democratic opponent Terry Goddard last night.
Politico's Ben Smith, who picked the video up off YouTube, wrote that Brewer's performance "reflects either an amazing lack of preparation, or sheer panic."
Check out the statement at left.

I agree. We have several that are great.
I cringed during every W presidential debate...it was not his strength. The lefties place a much higher importance on those things than we do.
She’ll recover.
I cringed every time W opened his mouth in public. But supposedly in private he is very well spoken and brilliant. Too bad THAT GWB wasn’t at the helm for 8 years.
Been there and done that...I actually imagine that Jan just might have been overcome with emotion for just a few minutes.
When you consider all the flying crap that she and her staff have had to put up with in the past year...just a short reflection in her mind after going through that would easily short circuit her speaking ability.
Just imaging what it would be like to be under the scrutiny of the FEDS, being sued by YOUR GOVT???, working 20 hour days and trying to manage some semblance of a home life...
She and the rest of our Conservative Women stand up taller than most of our Conservative Men...
CBS can kissmygrits

13 seconds of silence with a blank stare.....one a thousand, two a thousand, three a thousand.....
Bet this ends up in a Dem campaign ad, but it probably wont hurt her too much unless it becomes a one of THOSE moments that define a campaign, like McCain suspending his campaign to return to Washington and Bob Dole falling off the platform.
13 seconds is a long time
Brewer should repeat the statement many times daily. Proudly.
We could use 500 Jan Brewers in this Congress.
Yep.
We could use 500 Jan Brewers in this Congress.
Yep.
