Now they are asking Grasso to return some of the money they paid him. Idiots.

Who?
The ads are the funniest thing about this debate write-up in the WaPo, and I have taken a screenshot of and edited it so it will fit this space. The article discusses the deplorable debate behavior of all the candidates participating, and then just below the main text we see this:
Apparently Dr. Mac and Garrett Gruener want your vote for Governor too- and they are willing to pay for it.
Recall Mania
I am against the recall in California- but it is a legitimite constitutional exercise, and clearly the voters of California have some real grievances with the slimebag Davis. Having said that, it appears to me that the Blumenthal wing of the party of Clinton is now firmly in control, for if a republican wins, Democrats will immediately begin a new recall- out of retribution.
I wish I hadn’t predicted this, but you have to understand the way some of these Democrats think. Their guy was recalled for being a hideous Governor through a perfectly legal (although stupid) device. Clearly the solution is to recall the next Governor to get even.
FWIW- If I had a vote, I would vote no on the recall initiative, and yes for Bustamante- he was elected Lt. Governor for a reason and although I dislike his policies, he is not the criminal that Davis is and should deserve the right to govern. The people did, after all, choose him. After that, the only other serious politician and person I would want running my state is McClintock. To hell with the weightlifter, the debutante, and the Green party candidate.
Primetime Silliness
Flipping back and forth between the West Wing and the California debates, I caught something really funny in the debate. Tom McClintock listed about 18.5 billion in cuts off the top of his head, acknowledging that spending is up 38% while revenues had only increased 25% in recent years. Everyone, even Cruz, noted the deficit was not rocket science, and that they were simply spending more than they were taking in and it had to stop.
Everyone, that is, except for Camejo, the green party candidate, whose solution was to ‘raise taxes on the top 1% and spend more money on education.’
I almost choked to death on key lime pie I was laughing so hard. What alternate universe spawns the Green party?

Hillary Clinton, Hawk
You have to just love any article which will piss off both the “Bush lied” and the “Hitlery” crowds:
PRESIDENT BUSH has a surprising defender of his contention that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction–Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York. “The intelligence from Bush 1 to Clinton to Bush 2 was consistent” in concluding Saddam had chemical and biological weapons and was trying to develop a nuclear capability, Clinton said this morning. And Saddam’s expulsion of weapons inspectors and “the behavior” of his regime “pointed to a continuing effort” to produce WMD, she added.
The senator said she did her own “due diligence” by attending classified briefings on Capitol Hill and at the White House and Pentagon and also by consulting national security officials from the Clinton administration whom she trusts. “To a person, they all agreed with the consensus of the intelligence” that Saddam had WMD.
Clinton isn’t normally a defender of the Bush administration. And on other issues, especially Bush’s handling of postwar Iraq, she was highly critical. But she agreed, with qualifications, that preemptive military action may be necessary in certain cases, as Bush has argued was the case with Iraq.
She also had this to say about rumors regarding the Clintons and Wes:
That is an absurd feat of imagination, I guess. We have been supportive to all of the candidates running in any way that they have requested information…from either Bill or me, advice that they would solicit. We are not supporting or endorsing any candidate…I think someone very formidable is going to come out of this process….”
I can’t find the whole transcript from the breakfast.
