I just made a bet with a guy I know in Pennsylvania...

I say Pennsylvania's Governor Corbett will leave office in 2 years or less after he has a sex scandal.


Corbett had been criticized for supporting one of the most restrictive anti-abortion bills in the country because he said that women could just "close your eyes" during the mandatory ultrasound.

The bill was eventually shelved by the state House, but Corbett recently told The Seattle Times that he still supported the measure.

"I said, you can't make somebody watch it," the governor explained. "You can put the monitor in front of them but you can't make them watch it."

"I think we have over 30,000 abortions a year in Pennsylvania," he continued. "When you see that kind of number, if an ultrasound, which is not invasive at all, would convince somebody maybe to carry that baby to term and give it up for adoption and save that life, I think that’s the way to go."

Hes probably used to women having to close their eyes. The problem with a sex scandal would be the confusion at the lineup.

Just Google "Corbett Sandusky scandal". There are a lot of articles, including some about questionable campaign contributions.

Corbett is corrupt to the core.

Another complete asshole will just take over for him. My fellow Pennsyvanians really fucked us in 2010. Idiots that they are.

We need to work hard to replace him in two years instead.
