re: #183 Khal Wimpo (not drinking damn fish tank cleaner)
Yeah, I was there for a lot of this. Remember when Prop 187 passed, and the outrage in the state. I met Gray Davis way back in ‘92 in a law office, where he was doing the donations dance in front of a bunch of Los Angeles kingmakers.
Not impressed then. He really blew it, leading to the disastrous Governator experiment - about as close as California came to electing a Trump.
Only Arnie is actually kinda smart and has a soul. He worked for what he got. Not like rich-baby Trump.
The main problem with Gray Davis is that he so transparently viewed being CA governor exclusively as a stepping stone toward the presidency. That said, he was ratfucked to hell and back again by the W Bushies when the energy deregulation disaster hit.
