Florine: Otter Is A ‘Gutless Wonder’

FlorineD: OK, maybe this will get me tossed into the cooler, but I'm a-railing against the gutless wonder who wants to be reelected as the governor of Idaho. Shame be on the guy with no globes. If he had concerns about the so-called “conscience” bill, then why the hell didn't he veto it. In fact, a real leader would have used his veto “threat” to cause the various committees to drop the end of life part…that's what the coward says he disagrees with. But no…he takes the “can't come back to bite me” path, letting it become law without his signature.

Question: Is FlorineD being fair by calling Gov. Butch Otter a "gutless wonder" for not vetoing the "conscience bill" with which he disagreed in part or totally?
