Good post. I think it needs to be pointed out that Bill Simon wasn't named in the suit. Of course, the media put that as a trailing thought hidden in their articles, but it's a fact that I'm sure Gray Davis will ignore.

So a lawsuit not against Simon yielded a $65 million fraud judgement ... what about the $24 billion deficit of Gray Davis at the expense of the taxpayers of California?

All that counts is the headline. After all, Gray Davis has shown in the past that he can't tell the difference between Simon the Elder and Simon Jr. in regards to the S&L "scandal" (which ain't a scandal, except in regards to the Feds changing the rules in mid-stream after forcing a healthy S&L to extend itself acquiring another defunct one). Gray Davis knows full well that most folks only listen to the sound bites. And, unfortunately, this Hindelang "fraud" thing is ripe with 'em.

A quick Google search shows that Harland Braun is indeed Robert Blake's attorney. I'm rushed for time and haven't yet determined if there's an OJ connection. Be my guest!

You're right, of course.

Try finding that little tidbit in the published articles. It's buried deeply if it's mentioned at all.
