A federal judge ordered the release Monday of documents from a decade-old fraud and racketeering case in which a convicted felon implicated Gov. Gray Davis in a bribery scheme.

The release comes a week before voters go to the polls to choose between Davis and Republican Bill Simon, who's made attacks on the governor's fund-raising practices a centerpiece of his campaign.

Davis spokesman Roger Salazar said, "These are baseless charges made by a man who is a convicted felon, admitted perjurer ... in an attempt to get his sentence reduced."

You HAVE to love that sub-title!!!

(But what does the PICTURE have to do with the STORY???)

S W E E T!!!

Maybe Davis could be replace by Meathead!

[eureka!]

Finally. Though I don't think that it will have the impact and get the play that happened with Torch and the Chang Letter, it definitely won't help Grayout's numbers. Simon should just say "it speaks for itself, now here's what I want to do..."

Thanks for the ping. Now let's see if the print and television media run with the story.

According to California Republican Party Chairman Shawn Steel, the actual documents are to be released tomorrow, Tuesday, at 8 A.M.

Interesting that the Davis campaign didn't have a problem with the convicted drug dealer in the Simon lawsuit but when it comes to convicted felons pointing the finger at them "oh noooooooooo can't take the word of a convicted felon"...these Dems are so transparent is pathetic!

"These are baseless charges made by a man who is a convicted felon, admitted perjurer ... in an attempt to get his sentence reduced."

"Davis spokesman Roger Salazar said, "These are baseless charges made by a man who is a convicted felon, admitted perjurer ... in an attempt to get his sentence reduced."

Moreover, those charges are from a man with whom Gray Davis was meeting with. Hmmm...

[concerned about politics]

admitted perjurer ...

Davis never condemned Clinton for it. If this guy is a crook, then why isn't Davis ignoring Clinton?

[Toidylop]

Davis is a certified crook, for sure.

[concerned about politics]

Simon aides said there was no such ad but didn't rule out filming one depending on court developments.

Heh heh heh.

Davis spokesman Roger Salazar said, "These are baseless charges made by a man who is a convicted felon, admitted perjurer ... in an attempt to get his sentence reduced."

What's really remarkable is that he would admit to an association with a low-life like Gray Davis.
