The governor terms them 'a menace to society' in outrage over memos.

SACRAMENTO -- California Gov. Gray Davis, saying it is now clear that Enron Corp. intentionally forced the state into a crippling power crisis last year, Thursday demanded that top Enron executives be sent to jail for "one of the most shameful acts of corporate greed in American history."

See your editor for why your response is faulty, then get back to me, okay?

Your responses appear to be very heavy non sequiturs. Admit it, you're off your meds.

When you start taking them again, try not to mix them with alcohol. ;-)

I'm not perfect, and i know it.

Christians are not perfect; they are merely forgiven.

He is a blithering idiot. He is a very lib dem, with no economic sense. He majored in history at Stanford. One would think that as the former Controller, he would have some experience on how to balance a budget, etc. All he has is his hand caught in the cookie jar.

"I wonder which of the two has the higher IQ."

The goat. No question about it. Davis doesn't even merit idiot status.

Now THAT is enthusiasm. I think the message is that DC won't bail him out. Simon has an enormous headstart in laying out Davis' record for him.

Davis is either intentionally trying to wreck California's economy, and thus attack the United States, or he's a blithering idiot. There just doesn't seem to be any other explanation.

By all accounts, Davis is a blithering idiot.

Throw Red Doofus in with them! BTW, why does he look like ET?

Are you suggesting that Dufus is an alien agent, intent on destroying our civilzation, followed by the world?

Hmmmmm. You could be onto something.

Nothing to add here.

He is a very lib dem, with no economic sense. He majored in history at Stanford. One would think that as the former Controller, he would have some experience on how to balance a budget, etc.

How is it that libs who obviously have no understanding of economics constantly get elected to high office? I would be surprised if imbeciles like Dufus could balance a checkbook. It's just incredible. And what history did he study at Stanford? The history of the Three Stooges?

I think that Clinton broke the barrier for Dems that they could get away with anything. It is obvious that is what Davis is trying to pull off with that phoney budget, and hiding behind Enron as a victim.

As far as spending habits, it appears that libs make lots of promises, and the voter doesn't understand they will have to pay. "Gosh, that is what we need." Libs are bottom feeders, and Davis has proven to be below even that level.

What really gauls me is that he screwed up royally, wanted DC to bail him out, but in the end the taxpayers will pay for his mistakes. That's another aspect of libs--victims, all of them, when they are caught.
