You know, I thought there was a brief, very brief, two-year period where one or both of our Cali legislative houses went Republican for two years. Or maybe I just dreamed it.
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.
