West Virginia Governor: ‘Kiss my dog’s backside’

Okay, so that was a bit of paraphrasing but that was, in effect, what Governor Jim Justice had to say to detractors of his state in general, and Bette Midler in particular.  His remarks came at the end of his State of the State speech in the House chambers.  What’s more, he actually had his dog brought over, and he then lifted her and showed everyone what exactly he meant.
