Jan Brewer: I'm Done With Debates (VIDEO)
If at first you awkwardly stumble through your opening statement, why bother trying again?

Gov. Jan Brewer (R) has put the kibosh on all future debates with her Arizona gubernatorial opponent Terry Goddard (D), after her rather embarrassing display at Wednesday's debate. "I don't believe that things come out in proper context in an adversarial atmosphere," she defended herself.

According to the Arizona Daily Star, Brewer says she only partook in the debate to try qualify for the $1.7 million-plus public funds for her campaign.

So after her poor showing, which involved a flubbed opening statement that made the internet rounds yesterday, Brewer has had enough: "I think it's pretty defined what (Goddard) stands for and what I stand for."

3. She's irony challenged among other things
Republican women think the press should just print whatever 'gem' falls out of their mouths, not ask questions. They invariably paly the victim of gotcha press. Maybe someone should show footage of Angle and Brewer running from the press over and over again and add the Benny Hill music. There's more than enough of the Stupid to get some good coverage.
