No wonder she's ineffective in the Las Vegas mayor's office, she's been too busy running for other posts, such as governor -- twice. But you crowned Jones the queen of ineffectuality before she announced her lame-duck status. Somehow it doesn't seem as sporting to call her ineffective now that she's said she won't run for mayor again. Yet, who knows? If she runs for the U.S. Senate seat to be vacated by fellow Democrat Richard Bryan, who is retiring after his current term ends, you'll have Jones, who wears all those kicky short skirts, to kick around all over again. County Commissioner Yvonne Atkinson Gates finished a respectable second, by which we mean she wasn't a close second, nor a distant second. How's that for a waffling statement?
