It only takes a very short conversation with Gatewood Galbraith to find out that in addition to being very, very funny, he is very, very smart. Saturday at St. John's Picnic, he showed off just a bit by reciting the old Catholic mass in Latin for the crowd.
Galbraith, running as an independent in the 2011 election for governor, then took on both political parties. He told an approving crowd that party politics is not the answer. Pointing to the crowd, he said that yellow dog Democrats and die hard GOP voters were equally at fault for the mess the state is in.
He promised to work with both parties if elected, not caring who got credit as long as the job got done.
