Prosecuting people for responsible disclosure? This governor is a fricking idiot.

When idiot directs prosecution it becomes a crime on its own.

This seems to be a requirement these days for being a governor. I understand not everyone can know everything. The fact that it is deemed unacceptable to admit not having all of the information to make an informed decision/comment where someone in a position of authority makes shit up to just sound authoritative is a sad state of affairs. It's not like being a governor is the same as posting things on an internet forum.

  FTFY: It's a requirement for being a governor in a red state.

    Polarize much? Let's just go back to the general population not trusting the government or any politician regardless of party affiliation. They're all corrupt and ignorant, it's a basic requirement.

      Oh, you're one of those morons who thinks both parties are equally bad, huh?

        Could you please stop posting flamewar comments? You've been doing it a lot lately, and we ban such accounts regardless of what they're flaming for or against. I don't want to ban you because you've also posted good things, but we've had to warn you about this multiple times in the past and that's not cool. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

    We've got some presidential mis-speaks a plenty too. Some haven't been a governor, and didn't come from a "red" state.

      This is clearly not an example of a politician simply "misspeaking".

        As much as it would be comforting if it actually was, incompetence is not limited to either political party.

        Yet. Wait for them to evaluate the blowback, and then the walkback from the comment.

  It's seems there is a certain set of political beliefs that enshrine intolerance of knowledge. Perhaps shared across multiple parties.

"Idiot" is relatively high praise.

I'm glad my Senator can speak intelligently at DefCon.
