Jan Brewer's Already Whoring Out Obama Finger-Gate Photo to Raise Money

For a lot of Arizonans, the photo taken last week of Governor Jan Brewer sticking her finger in the face of President Barack Obama was humiliating. If you're like us, you spent the past several days explaining to out-of-state friends that not everyone in Arizona is a classless sand-billy -- despite the state's dopey governor.

Jan, however, seems quite proud of her lack of poise while welcoming the president to the "Colt Single-Action Army Revolver State" -- as we predicted, the governor already is politicizing the photo and using it to raise money.

As you can see in the above screen grab from the website of Brewer's political action committee, "Janpac," the governor's apparently thrilled with herself for showing absolutely no class when the president was in town last week. She even jokes that she "really wasn't pointing at him. I was telling him, 'you have ONE more year!'"

As we mentioned on Thursday, the image will likely become a campaign photo for Brewer -- while many Arizonans are humiliated by the governor, Brewer's sticking her finger in the face of the most powerful man on earth will likely serve as a rallying cry for far-right-wing-nuts who disagree with the president, and are looking for a politician willing to take him on, regardless of how much of a dolt that politician may be.

Friends,

I need your help!

When I met President Obama this week, I really wasn't pointing at him. I was telling him, "You have ONE more year!" The President needs to be reminded that he is the President of the FEDERAL REPUBLIC and not a KING lording over state governors.

While I wanted to talk to him about jobs, our economy and visiting our border, President Obama criticized my book, Scorpions for Breakfast, and then walked away from me.

We deserve results over rhetoric, but this is a President who had the audacity to sue me and

Arizona in my efforts to protect our country from illegal immigration!

Donate today to Jan PAC and help me stop President Obama in 2012 and others like him who are taking our country down the wrong path.
