Having cannily ridden a wave of irrational xenophobia all the way to a meeting at the White House with Barack Obama, Brewer blows it and loses the news cycle with her own buffoonery.

Meanwhile James King at New Times talks to her GOP primary opponent, Dean Martin, who unsurprisingly has little good to say about it:

After Governor Jan Brewer’s office failed to call us back regarding the gov’s bogus claims that her father “died fighting the Nazi regime in Germany,” we thought we’d give Treasurer Dean Martin, Brewer’s opponent in the GOP gubernatorial primary, a chance to weigh in.

“Trying to use the death of a loved on for political gain is appalling,” Martin tells New Times.

Also:

Vanity Fair calls Brewer imperial sun queen of Arizona’s chromatocracy.

Wishy-washy Newsweek says Brewer “seems to have been ambiguous” about her father’s war record.

This is obviously a mistake.

The magazine meant to say that “There are signs that some say could indicate the prospect of different views of whether Brewer was ambiguous or not.”
