"Too bad our elementary school children could not afford $100 per child to meet with Governor Davis to express their desire to say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning before school.

That's a great line.

I also thought Davis was pecularly silent on this, but read in the LA Times: Pledge of Allegiance Violates Constitution, Court Declares today which reported this:

The decision sparked a swift, angry reaction across the nation, including a flurry of denunciations by public figures including President Bush and Gov. Gray Davis. Bush called it "ridiculous" and Davis said he was "extremely disappointed" that a court would rule against "one of our most profound human expressions of American patriotism."

I hope Simon doesn't get burned on this.

How could Simon get burned? Davis was mum before the case, apparently, and DECLINED the opportunity to fight in court... and only now scampers out jumping up and down and tweeting "Me too! Me too!"

Looks like a win/win to me.

This whole issue highlights Davis' biggest problem: he is so concerned about his fundraising and campaign activities, that he neglects the duties of his office until it becomes a crisis ...

There was no reason California shouldn't have signed on to the court briefing. Davis, himself, is a vet (as he always reminds us) and it would have been a natural, feel-good, broad-based move that would only have offended the most extreme of the liberal establishment. In my opinion, Davis just wasn't paying attention because he was focused on (you guessed it!) $$$.

Just like during the energy crisis ...

The education crisis ... ($1 million please, Mr. Johnson?)

The budget crisis ... ($7 billion surplus into a $24 billion deficit ... that's not only incompetent, but grossly neglient!)

So it's no surprise he ignore this lawsuit ... he was too busy with what's important to him ... his campaign treasury.
