MILF-lovers, pot-smokers, hair-dyers, plane-haters, nudists and, well, Vermont’s congressional delegation.
Here’s the Scoreboard for the week of Friday, Sept. 6:
Winners:
Bud smokers — After Attorney General Eric Holder said last week he wouldn’t crack down on states that legalize pot, Gov. Peter Shumlin told reporters Tuesday he’s “open to further discussion” about letting the green grow freely here in the Green Mountains. But don’t light up just yet. Shumlin clarified to Seven Days Thursday he’s “in no hurry” to legalize it — and would prefer to see how it works in Washington and Oregon first. “I personally favor legalization for Vermont at the right time,” he said.
Democratic F-35 DIS-unity — Until Wednesday, nearly every major Democratic politician in the state had either endorsed the F-35’s proposed basing in South Burlington or dodged the question. But now, Senate Democratic Majority Leader Phil Baruth (D-Chittenden) is getting involved. On Wednesday, he joined two other Dem reps and a slew of local Progressives in calling for the city of Burlington to just say no. [Ed.’s note: The Scoreboard spaced out Friday and put “Democratic F-35 unity” in the winner’s column. That, obviously, makes no sense. It’s been edited to reflect that the real winner was “Democratic F-35 disunity.”]
Perseverence — Dylan Gingues really wants to let it all hang out. After the dude got busted for violating Bellows Falls’ nudity ordinance last week, he showed up in court the next day wearing nothing but a (presumably borrowed) police coat. By Wednesday, he was back in action — this time allegedly exposing himself in White River Junction. “Awww! He’s cute,” said one witness to Gingues’ loin-clothed handcuffing, according to the Rutland Herald‘s Eric Francis.
