This is the end of Davis's political career. When the liberal fish wraps like LaLa Times and the Sacramento Pee say that even they smell a RAT then this situation has turned beyond the critical mass stage and is heading straight to an epic 'gotcha' of historical proportions.
In a rational, sane world you would be right. But you're dealing with politics here, not the rational world. The "Pee" and the Times will soon come to their senses. Start watching for commercials with Simon pushing an old woman in a wheelchair down a flight of stairs, while laughing maniacally...a la Richard Widmark. Or maybe stuffing golden retriever puppies in a bag and tossing them off the Golden Gate Bridge...the usual sort of Democratic media campaign. :)
