SACRAMENTO - One of the cardinal rules of politics is to know how to count.
A politician must be able to marshal votes to pass laws and to calculate how much cash he needs to win the next campaign.
As the victor in five statewide elections, Gray Davis is one of the best political counters in California history. Yet as the state girds for another long budget stalemate, the Democratic governor seems to have lost the formula for success.

Relations between lawmakers and Davis soured early after his first election as governor when he said: ``Their job is to implement my vision.'What vision would that be, Gray? God I can't stand that asshole....

Until Herbie Wesson closes down the pork office he opened in Coachella to "represent the district", and staffed it with the demonrat that lost to Republican Bonnie Garcia in the last Assembly election, we'll know the Rats aren't serious about budget deficits.
By some estimates, the cost to run that office is upwards of $300,000.00 a year.

Lol! Coming back from Century City, Jessamine remarked that ol' Gray has a tofu berry shake for lunch everyday. Carol and I roared with laughter when Jessamine called him a faggot. Hahaha, I'm laughing all over again!
Speaking of "pencil neck", remember that novelty song, "Pencil Neck Geek"? That's our Gray!!

By comparison, Gray Davis' persona makes statuesque Al Gore look like an out-of-control party animal.
