My Debate With Governor Jan Brewer
By Kristi Harrison
If you haven’t had a chance to sit through the incredible footage of Governor Jan Brewer’s achingly awful fumbling through basic sentence formation the other day, please, by all means, take a gander.
WOWZA. Did you make it all the way through? Be honest. If you did, congratulations for having a stomach made of rock and awkward. I threw my shoe at my laptop screen at the 34 second mark, and now I have to do my work at the public library. It smells here.
Knowing that Governor Brewer probably wanted an opportunity to redeem herself, we invited her over for a quick little debate and it went awesome. Here’s the transcript.
Funnycrave: Thanks for coming Governor Brewer. Can I call you ‘Govn’r?’
JB: Absolutely.
Funnycrave: With a cockney accent?
JB: If you like.
Funnycrave: ALROIGHT GOVN’AH LOIT’S GET DOWN TO HIGGEDLY PIGGEDLIES. First question: I like your hair.
JB: I am so proud of how I’ve done everything humanly possible to make this hair the best it can be.
Funnycrave: HA HA HA HA! ROIGHT YOU ARE! I’m done with this accent. Hold up.
Funnycrave: Second question, I do declayer, how’d you get that lil’ ol’ suit of y’alls so bright and yellow like the mighty Georgia sun on a hot summer day?

Funnycrave: Well, take it out then. I was only trying to help. Maybe you’re not having a stroke. And maybe I’m wearing panties. But we’ll never know, will we?
JB: No, we won’t. Can I say something?
Funnycrave: I don’t know. Can you?
JB: Everyone makes mistakes. We’re all only human, you know.
Funnycrave: True dat. My golly, your teeth are bright.

Funnycrave: Do you polish them with the bleached bones of dead illegal immigrants?
JB: Ha ha ha. Now you’re the one being funny.

JB: You’re my best friend, right now.
Funnycrave: No doubt. Up top.
