Hey, let’s leave broads out of this OK. ;-)

It was a reply to another’s comment , btw. :-)

Well it did until one of the RINO republicans sided with Willie Brown and blocked the Republican takeover for all but about ten minutes of the two years.

I’m not actually sure if the Republicans ever did get control at all. If so, it was essentially meaningless.

Willie was as slick or slicker a player than the Clintons.

I used to have a co-worker who was connected to politics and insiders in the Capital of Ca. She told one time that Willie actually hit a pedestrian in a cross walk one time, and not a word of it appeared in the press.

That’s a pretty good trick.

Willie was for decades the most powerful politician west of the Mississippi IMO.

Don't count on it. The idiot democrats that infest this state can not ever do the right thing.

He will be the next Mayor of Los Angeles after Antonio goes to D.C. for delivery CA for Hillary.

One of my friend’s husband was a top-level manager at San Francisco International Airport.

He told me that Willie Brown was one of the most corrupt individuals in California politics, but had hidden everything so well no one would ever find it.

Your friend’s husband was right. I don’t think you’ll find too many conservatiives in California who would disagree.

“Well it did until one of the RINO republicans sided with Willie Brown and blocked the Republican takeover for all but about ten minutes of the two years.”

Yes, the Republicans took control of the state assembly, with a 1 vote majority. Then Willie Brown bribed “Republican” Paul Horcher into voting for him. Horcher was promptly recalled and kicked out of offfice, though if I remember correctly Brown did get him a nice paying paying government job for a while.

Then next Democrat trick was to make a deal with a Republican of their choosing (I don’t remember her name right now) to be Assembly leader, and cast all their votes for her, giving her the job over the Republican choice. She shouldn’t have been too surprised when she in turn lost a recall collection, and the Republicans finally controlled the assembly for like 1 year.

Heck, apparently the scum bag has a website.

Thanks MH. It had been a while and I didn’t remember the nitty gritty.

[DoughtyOne]

Yep, here's the weasle pictured with Willie Brown.
 
Horcher on the right.

Hah, I got a kick out of this. He list’s his experience as a “statesman.” Not for some reason he ceased getting elected to anything after 1994, and his bizarre ending date for his time in office “California State Legislature Dec. 1990 - May 1995.”

This was followed by some nice government work in the bay area (despite his being from Diamond Bar), which of course happens to be Willie Brown’s neck of the wood.

Oh, and nowhere does he mention that he was elected as a Republican, and the picture on the page is of him and Willie Brown.

Thanks for that additional information.

I had noticed that heading on the left “Statesman”. Riiiight...

[Right Cal Gal]

Doris Allen was Willie’s bribe-o-babe.

The true indicator of just how powerful Willie Brown really was : Brown was the number one recipient of Tobacco money over a ten year period.

The big tobacco companies donated more money to him than to any other elected official in the entire country. That includes governors and U.S. Senators from the big tobacco states.

Looking at that pic of your beautiful family... I’d say we have some pretty great Californians... we’re just outnumbered!

[DoughtyOne]

Compared to him, Jackson and Sharpton are amatures.

Good point Cyropaedia.
