[Vision2020] Otter Plans Closed-Door Oath Taking

[Tom Hansen]

In my opinion, Governor-elect Otter's decision to be sworn in privately DOES
NOT reflect favorably upon his integrity.

At a time when the American people are demanding public disclosure of their
government's activities, a private, closed-door inauguration does not bode
well for a new governor.

What is it about his inauguration that Governor-elect Otter doe not want
publicly known?

sideways, chocolate in one hand, a drink in the other, body thoroughly used
up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO. What a ride!'"

So, let me see if I can summarize this situation accurately, using
several different scenarios.

1.  Otter swears in as governor of Idaho privately (read: no media is
invited).  I don't attend, nor does anyone else who is a member of
Vision2020, so we don't share our Otter-swears-in-reminiscences with
the group.

2.  Otter swears in as governor of Idaho publicly (read: the media is
invited).  I don't attend, nor does anyone else who is a member of
Vision2020, so we don't share our Otter-swears-in-reminiscences with
the group.

3.  Otter doesn't swear in as governor of Idaho, but pretends that he
does, and several false witnesses corroborate his fabrication.  I
don't attend  this mock event, nor does anyone else who is a member of
Vision2020, so we don't share our
Otter-pretends-to-swear-in-reminiscences with the group.

4.  Otter swears in as governor of Idaho on his favorite issue of
Hustler.  I don't attend, nor does anyone else who is a member of
Vision2020, so we don't share our
Otter-swears-in-on-a-porno-mag-reminiscences with the group.

In each instance, Otter performs his duties as the governor of Idaho
in precisely the same manner, except that scenarios #1 and #4 generate
more media attention (#1 inexplicably so, #4 understandably so).

Is that an accurate summation?  Did I leave anything especially germane out?
